Honestly, it was not so much me having a hard time, as being utterly horrified... I'll post in detail about it at some point. But yes, teaching can be a brutal arena, to be sure...

Politically...yeah. I am not at all certain this will be a four-year thing. I hope we can just vote it all away, and emerge, democracy intact, but lessons learned. Then again, I hoped that in 2016, too.
