How we absorb and respond to the information at hand and the state of affairs is important.
That's where our maturity, intelligence and ability to reflect on what's happening without being overly affected or depleted emotionally is like a stone that sharpens the sword. We have been through worse, and though that does not make it better, it tells us that this too will pass. If we respond rather than react, we can muster up energy and be more focused rather than fearful or overwhelmed.
Oh sure, this could be the road to hell politically and concerning the fate of our country, but that's not assured and thinking that way is probably a way to encourage and allow it. With vision and an understanding of duality/polarity and the sweeps and shifts of time between them, we can at least consider that this difficult challenge could lead to any changes we are collectively ready to make. It could be the kind of chaos that signals we are ready for a transition as certain barriers buckle and falter.
Maybe consider that things are getting ripe for change and, like birth pangs, we have some labor and pushing ahead. I think we can shift this from a potential plunge into a dark, authoritarian/oligarchical dystopian trajectory to a new and better United States ready to take on and benefit from the amazing and massive technological changes coming our way.
