Freaked out by watching news again

With all the rallies in Georgia, the state next door, and my local representatives in the news pledging to help Trump overturn the election, not caring that not everyone in Alabama would support this, I'm just freaked out. I'm scared local people will return from superspreader events and spread COVID-19 or cause mayhem when Biden is elected. I'm scared that many are packing a loaded gun and looking for trouble.
also triggered by genealogy research. There was always doubt about who my great grandfather was. I finally found answers after an unexpected DNA match. I shared some information with my aunt, but it made me sad when she wanted to know more because I don't think it's possible. My DNA match, my late father's nephew once removed, not only didn't answer my message, but his whole family tree has disappeared as well. Maybe I shouldn't assume anything, but it just reminds me of the whole suspicious attitude of Alabamians.
I know I should stop reading news stories

Does anyone here have a comfort item you carry with you when you go out? For example this is my doll, Annie, and I've recently been bringing her with me when I run errrands flor have an appointment. Holding her comforts me. I've bought her clothes, crocheted for her, I recently bought a personalized blanket with her name on it. Just wondering if anyone else has a comfort item.
