I don’t know about you, but lately, it feels like the world’s on fire and America is holding the match. Every headline feels like a punch to the gut: another protest turned violent, another court ruling tearing at the threads of democracy, another attack that once would’ve shocked us into silence but now barely registers. It’s overwhelming, exhausting, and honestly, terrifying.

So I did what any politically anxious overthinker with a minuscule background in political science would do…I asked AI what the hell is going on. Specifically, what the next six months in the U.S. might look like. I wanted data, I wanted patterns, I wanted odds. What I got was… sobering.

So that’s what you’re getting today. Part breakdown, part survival guide. Because if the country is a ticking time bomb, I figure it’s better to hear it ticking — and learn how to protect your mind and heart in the meantime — than pretend everything’s fine while it blows up in your hands.

Let’s talk about what’s coming and how to take care of yourself if and when it does.
