I'm really worried about the state of the US despite being a white male who was I'll coast right through it. I'll also accept "I don't" and "very poorly" as answers

What have you tried so far? You could:

Call your congressperson

Email them

Heckle them in public

Print and hang posters in public

Volunteer for a candidate you want to support

Run for office

Donate to a charitable organization that does good work

Volunteer for a worthy cause

Organize a bunch of like-minded individuals to do any of the above to magnify the impact

Doing something, anything to make even a small positive impact will help with doomerism.
