OFC the dread is palpable, the electorate that Trump is speaking directly to fears death in the way that only a person who knows they very shortly will be dead -can- fear death. They're not just staring down the barrel of their own mortality, they're being forced to witness...in the thirteenth hour, the rapidly escalating destruction of every more, normative, and power structure they spent their entire lives building and maintaining. An abandonment of their very legacy.
As to the OPQ...no. I'm more likely to die from the flu. I kind of try to limit my fears to those things that are at least remotely reasonable to fear. Any other approach seems like a rabbit hole.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
