don't mean to invalidate you, situation is fucked and I feel like that all the time.
however, what really helped is joining local mutual aids, or grassroots political groups (definitely not Dems and definitely not the Fascist party).
it'll help you meet people who feel like you, and actually help people and yourself.
I've been trying to do this. National level seems untouchable, but at the local level I can volunteer, make friends, and help my neighbors
National government change will take time, but look at Mamdani, he's the result of a DSA campaign, the media won't tell you this. they want to to seem that NY is some crazy woke error. no, there are DSA chapters everywhere, they do great work and members usually work in many other projects you can inquire and join. And if you don't like them for some reason there are other third parties you can join they do great work.
Want a Mamdani in your local government, you can actually do it.
The media wants us to be deep in a doomscrolling depression so we don't do shit.
