Some really good thoughts here.
Primarily that in every developed country in the world--incumbents have been losing elections this year. And that this is the first time this has ever happened.
This appears to be due to inflation and "post-pandemic malaise". And the incumbent party did better in the US than in most other countries.
The other major element is a "toxic information environment".
I am not in the least surprised. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/lgbtq-youth-calls-to-mental-health-crisis-line-spiked-by-700-percent-after-election-day

The Underground Railroad to 🇨🇦 still exists.
Harriet Tubman has always been a personal hero to me & in 2015 Dr. J took me to visit her church in Ontario. I’d been working hard behind-the-scenes combatting the online hate against Hillary & was exhausted (hence my grim look). Going here lifted my soul. The monument to her reads:
“AFTER THE PASSING OF THE USA 1850
FUGITIVE SLAVE LAW
SHE SAID.
"I WOULDN'T TRUST
UNCLE SAM WITH
MY PEOPLE NO
LONGER: I BROUGHT THEM ALL CLEAR OFF TO CANADA."”

Great recommendations here.
Don't forget to also use web browsers who don't spy on you or leak your data.
On desktop, I primarily use LibreWolf (hardened Firefox); occasionally Ungoogled Chromium.
On mobile (Android) I use Chromite.
Test results of these and their competitors may be found here:

What I am using:
(only a suggestion)
Chat = SimpleX

Email = GnuPG

Do Not trust anyone that says they're the "resistance media network."
The revolution will not be televised. Nor will it be on YouTube, Instagram, TikTok. Now is the time to learn how to use good encrypted communication channels.
Small bands of trusted people can do more good than you think.
Don't forget the power of song.
