So.... my daughter got some terrible news, and it has her angry and terrified.
She learned last Friday that a close college friend, with whom she was very close with when they attended the same school, died suddently and unexpectedly late election night. Her friend was non-binary and strong LGBTQ activist. Their fiance was working that night and she came home to find them drowned in a bathtub.... and it appears they drank a lot and perhaps took some pills while in the bathtub. It is not clear if their death was deliberate, or not. But my daughter is convinced that they were despondant about the election and and if they didn't deliberately kill themselves, did so accidentally while trying to kill the pain.
She went to their funeral last night and she careens between being devasted and burning with a white hot anger.
I'm not sure what to tell her. What a terrible thing for her to go through.
EDIT: Thank you all for your kind words. I showed this to my daughter, and she started to cry, in a good way, in appreciation for your compassion. Thank you.

Between the culture wars, and industries that are constantly convincing us that everything is out to get us and we are all doomed, it is no wonder that the entire concept of community went from a positive thing to a negative nightmare. I am not saying that communities necessarily did this in real time, but the concept was destroyed so that no one wanted to practice it anymore. We went from a time where I would do something wrong and I would get in trouble for it by other parents and the news of it would usually beat me home so that my own parents were standing there waiting to continue the berating to having a child dent the neighbors car with a ball and both sides end up in the emergency room with gunshot wounds. Assuming they did not kill each other.
You are right. Civility is also gone. We are all medieval merchants, always having to watch our backs while we try not to get screwed while we try to screw the other. It is untenable. We won't make it as things are without some serious societal changes, some of them rather fundamental. But, we won't do it because reasons.
This was all orchestrated by those in power so that they can remain in power. We have to stop this if we are to be a democratic republic. That means getting our hands dirty. Will we?
I apologize. I was on a roll. 
too. Mental Health issues are going to rise. And I see the death rate go up.
I lost so many friends and family members who were sheltered in their closets until they though it was ok to come out and seek help but the help came way too late for them thanks to Ronnie.
I fear that with all the hate and inhumanity around us the LBGTQ community will really be in danger from these deranged deplorables.
We already know Elon and RFK Jr are pulling his strings, and Rupert Murdoch is the puppet master. I don't think we're as much Nazi Germany as we are the beginning of Stalinist Russia. Things are going to get ugly fast. 
Perhaps your daughter might benefit from some counselling sessions.
Even sadder: it’s not terribly surprising.
Shit.
Parental love is comforting and grounding. When she gets her feet back on earth, can sleep and eat well, she'll know what to do with her fury. We all need each other. She will be able to help others, and thus herself as well.
Hugs to both of you.
Unfortunately this is going to become more frequent.
questionable circumstances. I can understand why they would be despondent.
I'll say a prayer and wish for your daughter and her friend and their family.
