Hopefully the temp crown stays put as long as it needs to and is nondramatic. Sympathies on the job search; I hope you find a good one!
Re: liberalism, one of the brain-benders for me in reading the foreign policy book that I just finished is that Soviet Russia flipped/still flips the political spectrum from the way we have it. So their conservatives are their left, in their internal reckoning, and their liberals are on the right.
I am rushing through "Beautiful Country, Burn Again" to try to get it read before 2/1, so that I don't have to put it on hold for a whole month while I read Irish. But I heard the author interviewed on NPR, and essentially, his thesis is that we are in America's third societal revolution, as eptiomized by 2016. You might enjoy it, I'll have a better take in two days.
