Contemplating the State of the World

How have we come to this? 

All the students we taught, how we spent our entire lifetimes teaching anti-racism, compassion, kindness, history, and critical thinking: but now our nation must choose between a vile, ignorant, woman-hating racist Hitler-wannabe who will bring great suffering to the entire world, and someone who is complicit in the obliteration of an entire culture and the murders of Arab children. 

Who can bear this?
