I'm nearly 50 and have watched politics swing back and forth all my life.

That's not what is currently happening. It's not a minor disaster. It's something we'll take generations to recover from, if ever.

We can't do much, individually. Find people in your community working on stuff you care about and get out there and pitch in. Get involved. Make sure your local school district isn't banning books or being cruel to trans kids. Make sure you have good city councilors.
