I have recently gotten involved in local government and local community-supporting non-profits. The US as a world power and example of virtuousness seems to be on its way to the dustbin, so I am focusing on protecting/making healthy my community.

It's one of the few ways I can think of to do something positive and legal. And non-violent.
