Lots of opportunities for improvement!
I like the way you think. There have been similar times of social unrest. The late 60s comes to mind. There were problems and yet there was no downfall of civilization. The slow trickle of reforms and changes pushed us out (along with resolve). The rise in political polarization has me worried but there's no guarantee trends will continue. As problems have cropped up in the past, we've slowly fixed them so they become less of an issue. I think the one thing that can make it worse for yourself as an individual is to let it consume you to the point of a defeatist attitude. Focus on the narrow window you have control over and keep informed enough to make smart choices within that window.
