How the fuck do people don't get radical or depressed?

I don't think there is any single answer to this that works for everyone?

If you feel public protests or political activism are a good release for your frustrations, go for it. If you feel you need some escapism, try to avoid addiction/substance abuse but don't beat yourself up if you wind up there. Find help.

For me, community engagement has helped. It doesn't come naturally as I'm an introverted sort, but I find community-building activities therapeutic. And yes, I do encounter the occasional maga type or whatever. I try not to slam the door on them though. It's usually some common interest that brought us together, and I try to work from there.
