The past month has been one of the most difficult in my life. As I said many times, I question the ethics and judgement of anyone who considers a felon, sex offender, unhinged pathological liar and, frankly, unintelligent man suited to be president.

That so many people do has left me shocked and terrified. To cope I have completely disengaged. I have not read a newspaper or followed events since the election.
I expect the next four years to be an economic, political and ethical disaster.
If you teach you engage in public life. It is not Beltway Prurient Life (with prurient serving as a metaphor for the deviation of our Democracry writ large).
I get this, and it is ok to not know. It’s also okay to change your mind a million times, change what engagement looks like, take a step back, or something else. All options are valid, except being an asshole, so you should be okay.
I get it. When you consider yourself a patriot, it's very hard to realize that the place you imagined this country to be doesn't comport with actual reality.

If you get a chance, you can scan some of my most recent musings on this thought. I have fought VERY HARD to find ways to be positive and persevere.
I think the answers I've come up with might help you.
