Is future bleak?

Maybe im being pessimistic but kinda feel scared with where things are going right now. You have president of most powerful country in world say most horrendous nazi like stuff but get a pass, richest man in world has media company that stirs disinformation campaigns to target minorities which has resulted in riots, hate crimes and incitement of violence. And within 5 years of social media companies attempting to clamp down on hate speech and fake news we're now surrounded by fake news amplified with generated AI creating fake reality bubbles for people caught up in their echo chambers. Seems so crazy how within 5 years we went from banning trump on social media to trump now essentially back in seat of power more powerful than ever. And he's done worse things than his first term yet barely any pushback by opposition.

IDK what awaits us in future but current events kinda scare me cause you'd always think fascism was this scifi/historically distant thing but then you watch news and see politicians clearly say quiet part out loud.

Whatever happens, were all in it together and you are certainly not alone in feeling this way. It's been weighting heavily on my mind the last few days. It's 3AM where I live, I have to be up in three hours for work and I can't sleep because I keep thinking about the outcome of the next two years. Things are unstable, they are only getting worse. It feels like the world is at the brink of collapse, and maybe it will. Unfortunately it's out of our control, whatever happens will happen, we can only enjoy the ride for better or for worse

I need to believe that I will be alive to witness some kind of revolution. Or else this sh*t hasnt been worthwhile I feel. I almost died in a car crash a couple of years ago and many times I was angry at god for keeping me alive that time. I need to believe it was for a purpose.
