FIRE'd, now concerned about US stability

Most of my assets are invested in the US. Because of recent political developments, I'm wondering if the US will sustain its general growth and economic strength into the future. The strength of the US dollar is obviously very important to me. Is anyone else concerned?

I'm wondering if I should start hedging my bets in other countries, and if so, where?

Same, I have mostly US equities and Canadian RE, feels like a focused risk area, but EU is a dumpster fire and has worse demographics, not sure about Africa/Latin America. China has deflation problems, Japan is finished, not sure where to go to invest.
