Not easy, if you don't know what to expect. At least history can give some guidance.

But the tough part is, that we have already seen things, we wouldn't imagine is possible...

I think a really important thing to consider is flexibility. In tough times, conflicts and tensions are increasing, that makes people choose sides, like similar people, blame others more, which can give place to different political schemes. In such times, if you are flexible to move, it is a treasure. I think important to mention, that these forces are developed differently in different countries, so it is possible, that it is better to live somewhere else.
