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.
