back to the original query :

in general, foreign equities earning mostly in non-dollars would theoretically the most frictionless way to address the concerns.
but you would be fighting a long history of how much the global economy is coupled\owned by america, and thus foreign equity correlated to american equity.

"When U.S. equities experience a major drawdown, American investors tend to withdraw funds from stocks and move them into safer assets. But they typically reduce their exposure to foreign equities as well."

so, options exist, but in general you have to assume lower than prior historical risks (per your geographic preferences) after a global drawdown results in a much larger than normal margin-of-safety.
