It's scary as fuq to think adults carry dolls around to comfort themselves.

Former NYT editor Jill Abramson carries ‘little plastic Obama doll’ to comfort her during Trump era

Quote:

Former New York Times executive editor Jill Abramson said this week she keeps a plastic Obama doll in her purse to comfort her during the Trump presidency.

Why does she have an Obama doll?

“It’s easy to look at what’s happening in Washington DC and despair,” Abramson wrote in her political column for the Guardian. “That’s why I carry a little plastic Obama doll in my purse. I pull him out every now and then to remind myself that the United States had a progressive, African American president until very recently. Some people find this strange, but you have to take comfort where you can find it in Donald Trump’s America.”

Abramson’s misty-eyed longing for a more liberal era included an account of Hillary Clinton’s former running mate, Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.), recently bringing “donors in Boston to tears with a performance of This Land is Your Land, played on his harmonica.”
