Low effort post. Locking.
OP. Please read the AskLemmy community rules. This is not the correct community for support questions. Locking.
Rule 5. Support question. Locking.
Inspired by another comment, I’ve been to the mountain that Monkey (of the 80’s TV show) “hatched” on. It is more of a hill really, and it’s brown, not black as shown in the intro.
Too many complaints about being political. Locking.
Also somewhat amusing that my reply about the US Constitution, our founding political document, remains up.
I removed the comment above yours. I took the approach that where a comment could reasonably be interpreted as a hypothetical question (or response to), and thus not about actual US politics as they are occurring, they were left up. It’s about trying to remove posts and comments that are against the purpose of the community, but also respecting those that are not. Personal judgement is often required and not everyone will agree with every decision. Shades of grey…
Post is borderline political. It’s a line ball.
Arrive with a pocket full of foreign currency…
Not an open-ended question. Locking.

Have you tried meditation?
On another note, your question is how to stop worrying but reading between the lines I get the feeling you are also asking how to get her to come home.
If so, she’s 20 and therefore an adult. So your role needs to be as a trusted advisor rather than rule maker. Have you tried discussing your fears with her in a way that makes it clear that a) ultimately what she does is her decision to make, and b) you will love her regardless of what decision she makes? She’s much more likely to listen if she feels that you are trying to provide alternate perspectives for her to weigh and balance without trying to control the outcome.
I’m going to lock this post now as the comments keep straying into US Politics.

This rule applies only to the AskLemmy community. A ban on US politics posts in AskLemmy makes sense for several reasons:
-
US politics tends to dominate many online spaces already, drowning out other valuable discussions.
-
Political discussions, especially about US politics, often become heated and polarized quickly, which can detract from the thoughtful, contemplative atmosphere that open-ended questions are meant to foster. When people discuss US politics, they tend to take hardened positions rather than engaging in genuine exploration of ideas.
-
US political discussions often fall into predictable patterns and talking points, which goes against the spirit of having thought-provoking questions. The same debates tend to play out repeatedly, offering little new insight or opportunity for meaningful reflection.
-
A community focused on open-ended questions should ideally have a global perspective. US political discussions can make the space feel less welcoming to non-US users who might have fascinating questions and perspectives to share about their own cultures, philosophies, and experiences.
-
There are other communities whose purpose better aligns with discussions about US politics.
-
People need some communities where they can engage with others and NOT have to see or think about the recent election.
Nobody wants every community to be a free-for-all about every topic. Please feel free to discuss US politics in a relevant community about the US, about politics, or about world news.

AskLemmy is not the community for US politics. Locking.
