I understand where you are coming from. This totally fucking blows and I’m terrified for my children. The only constant in human life is that there is suffering. There is always suffering in life. Right now, there is nothing you can do about this situation. Understand that there is always and has always been suffering in life. That’s not new. Speculation on the future only causes more suffering. The present moment is all you have. The want for what you deem as a better political situation (and you are probably right) is causing you suffering. Choose to not suffer.
Breathe deeply for 5 minutes straight and relish in what is good in your life. Let the loved ones around know how important they are to you. Do something that you truly enjoy. Take care of yourself. No one else is going to do that for you. You are not the first human being to feel what you are feeling and you will not be the last. Whether or not you are “ok” is up to you.
Luke Skywalker didn’t blow up the Death Star with that attitude! You seem like you are a good person. Sometimes, the only peace we can find is in ourselves. Keep your head up, friend.
Luke Skywalker? Might as well tell everyone that Clifford the big red dog overcame adversity, or curious George faced challenges. Don’t be patronizing.

The only way out is within.
I’m leaving this comment separate:
I appreciate your kindness.
Please continue talking to me if you need it. Maybe I need it too.
I love life. I love my people. I love the strangers I meet. I love nature. I love my pets. I live to help others.
There is no longer hope.

Give me a cute tiny phallic robot I can somehow understand, and a war fighting space ship, my attitude might change.
Until then, home brew defensive microwave EMP to fend off the openAI™ Slaughterbots®.
And lots of screaming to the clouds.
