Case in point for the "everything is religious" mentality.
Have you ever thought it might be the other way around? That what's happening to the US right now is simply a phase that has affected every failing empire in the past five thousand years, so it's nothing special in the overall framework of things? But that it's citizens, particularly in media, are squarely in denial about that fact, and would rather cling on to some grand mythical explanation, than face the simple truth - that their country isn't special. It's simply one more nation among hundreds of others, no more noble or less corruptible than the rest.
And in turn, Biden taking over is nothing but a blip on the historical radar, like Carter was in the seventies - you know, the last time conservatives wailed about the coming of the antichrist, television preachers were on the rise, and airports were filled with religious panhnadlers milking that same fear. And what came of it - the Reagan years. Not exactly the apocalypse, I'd imagine.
So again, focus on the facts, and look for practical explanations with well-defined predictions. Getting emotional in a crisis never helped anyone, while overstating or misconstruing the danger is a great way to get yourself swindled, as many a toilet-paper-hoarder has realized over the past two years.
