So I'm supposed t go to a party in two days. All of my academic friends will be there, of whom one will be Trump-friendly. The other who is Trump-friendly will be on vacation. It will by my first post-election socializing in the midst of TDS.

I was thinking of taking a kind of ventriloquism dummy, my Trump talking figure, which I bought months ago for just such occasions. Anybody asks me anything, I push the button.
