How are people managing anxiety about the political situation in the US? I’m freaking out nonstop and feel like I’m about to be taken to the gas chambers.

If I stay informed then I start to spiral. I have to disconnect. It's hard but it helps. My habits are to spend time on my phone to get away from my thoughts. But being on my phone gives opportunity to have spiraling thoughts. It's very confusing.
