UNIDENTIFIED VOICE 1: So I was thinking, for the anti-Trump rally, we come at them with something powerful and progressive, like “From the River to the Sea, World Trade Should Be Free,” you know, something like that.

UNIDENTIFIED VOICE 2: That’s amazing. And I have some posters with, like, that guy’s face on it, who’s that guy again?

UNIDENTIFIED VOICE 1: Milton Friedman?

UNIDENTIFIED VOICE 2: Yeah!

UNIDENTIFIED VOICE 1: Awesome. We need a bunch of those.

UNIDENTIFIED VOICE 2: This is going to be an amazing demonstration. We’ve got the free trade stuff, and the Friedman guy stuff, we just need some other stuff . . .

UNIDENTIFIED VOICE 1: Someone in the steering committee meeting suggested, like, an RFK Jr. slam? Like, Hey Hey, Ho Ho, Big Pharma’s the Way to Go.

UNIDENTIFIED VOICE 2: Not loving it.

UNIDENTIFIED VOICE 1: We can workshop some more. But I think we need to make a statement supporting our allies at Novartis and Bristol Myers Squibb.

UNIDENTIFIED VOICE 2: Totally.

UNIDENTIFIED VOICE 1: Any other allies we should support? Should we have a team carrying signs in solidarity with Walmart? They’re on the front lines of this trade stuff.

UNIDENTIFIED VOICE 2: Good instinct. Let’s keep it diverse. Let the teams know we don’t want to be just anti-Trump. That just gets us negative coverage. We need to keep it on the key progressive issues, like free trade and military intervention.

UNIDENTIFIED VOICE 1: Right. We made that clear in the planning meeting.

UNIDENTIFIED VOICE 2: Yeah. Us too. Let’s keep it issue-based. That’s what’s going to have impact.

UNIDENTIFIED VOICE 1: Right. But some of these issues? It’s like, I’m a senior and I could swear that my freshman year in my Intro Poli Sci class we were against free trade, because it was just a tool of the global patriarchal elite.

UNIDENTIFIED VOICE 2: Yeah, I was in that class, too. Plus, were you in World Health Systems in Crisis? I’m pretty sure everything RFK Jr. is saying now was in our textbook. In fact, I know it was because I used some of his stuff about seed oils in my final paper.

UNIDENTIFIED VOICE 1: And in my freshman year Survey of Modern Geopolitical Strategy we were told that when two countries have a border dispute we’re not supposed to intervene.

UNIDENTIFIED VOICE 2: Yeah. Does that mean I should tell the Ukraine team to pick another issue?

UNIDENTIFIED VOICE 1: No, no. No. I mean, no, right? It’s just weird how everything changed. And it seems like some of the stuff we’re now in favor of is . . .

UNIDENTIFIED VOICE 2: Stuff my dad was saying a few years ago?

UNIDENTIFIED VOICE 1: Right! Exactly! My dad was always telling me that tariffs are taxes and taxes are bad.

UNIDENTIFIED VOICE 2: Oh, that’s a good one! I’ll tell them to make up some posters with that one!

UNIDENTIFIED VOICE 1: Yeah. Yeah. It’s just that . . . it feels very strange to be agreeing with my Republican father. About politics and economics and stuff.

UNIDENTIFIED VOICE 2: Agree with him? But he’s a Rethuglican! He’s a Trumper!

UNIDENTIFIED VOICE 1: No, actually he’s not. He’s not anything, I don’t think. Anymore. It’s kind of sad, actually. He just sits in the den with a lost expression on his face. When I showed him my Free Trade Now! tattoo he asked if it hurt and when I said no he asked where I got it.

UNIDENTIFIED VOICE 2: Hey, look. Yes, things are a little upside down right now, but you said it yourself! We’re at Harvard! We’re not supposed to think about this stuff, we’re supposed to lead!

UNIDENTIFIED VOICE 1: You’re right. You’re right.

UNIDENTIFIED VOICE 2: And you’re lucky your dad’s a banker. Mine is a college professor. All of this Gaza stuff hit him really hard. He didn’t know which side he was supposed to be on. We had to have him institutionalized.
