Great news! You've had two years of experience in a fast-paced acute care environment! You can go almost anywhere and the world is your oyster. You are not frozen to this situation which you don't prefer. What else do you want to do? Not all of nursing is like what you describe. Don't change careers just yet. Change where you're working first. Best of luck to you.

I'll be the bad cop: Just quit nursing then. Walk away. That's what they want. Let the jerks win. Let them get the better of you.

Whew, now that's out of the way, do something about your stress, then find a job where you coworkers arn't a huge hot slice of crap pie.

There are different kinds of political issues everywhere. It doesn't matter what facility you work at or where you go you will run into different problems. I've had the racial issues at many facilities here in Georgia, but I've finally found one where that's not the case but then there are new issues that are just as difficult. I have a wonderful team environment now but there's still those few people that make work hell, doesn't matter where you go. There is usually a different culture on every unit so I would just keep transferring around until you find one you can tolerate. That's what I've done.
