Well, I agree with Louie Gohmert’s final statement, “He added that the survival of the country is “really hanging in the balance.”
But our survival as a democracy means electing fewer Louie Gohmerts and electing more people who understand the country cannot survive if we permit Donald Trump and those who support him to repeatedly wipe their ass with our Constitution.

I probably had three...a chemistry teacher and a student teacher from UNC (English). And for a couple of very eventful years a guitar-playing, blue jean, tennis shoe wearing music teacher.
Now I think that my high school music teacher may very well have once been a Bohemian Beatnick though.

The same English teacher for Shakespeare 2nd semester of my SO year, Western Literature 2nd semester of my JR year, and the entire 12th grade year. She was also one of the best teachers I ever had. Ran a tight class. Assigned a lot of reading and written assignments.

I had one. History teacher in high school. He was one of the two or three I remember as being very good.
To Gohmert's point, he did probably turn me into a Democrat. I was a Republican as a 16 or 17 year old because my dad was. I think he had me write a paper on Nixon or something which didn't turn me into a Democrat but did certainly open my eyes to the political process

My sophomore English teacher in high school was a hippie. She’s awesome. I still keep in touch with her more than 30 years later. I don’t think she impacted anyone’s political leanings, nor did she attempt to.
ETA: There are actually a few articles about her out there. This one briefly discusses what her experience was like teaching at my school (a few other articles do as well, but I like the anecdote in this one):
She definitely never took well to authority.
