I've got some other ones for you that are equally worth spending any energy worrying about.
Vaccines cause autism! - No. They don't.
9/11 was an inside job! - No. It wasn't.
The moon landings were fake! - Nope. We really went. You can even see for yourself, with a cheap telescope.
Here is a podcast series you should SERIOUSLY check out. No really. You will find yourself much calmer as your start to understand how much bogus crap is out there, and how it's specifically targeted at people with conservative inclinations (and why!) and how to ACTUALLY do your own research and develop critical thinking skills (instead of reading bullshit with an agenda behind it and getting more and more anxious - and calling THAT "doing your own research" which is what these assholes all want you to do).
Also, seriously, there are treatments for anxiety. Politics can be SUPER stressful and our anxious brains can jump to conclusions out of fear. Therapy can SUPER help (as can CBD).
