Is America becoming a fascist theocracy?

'The church is supposed to direct the government.'
-Lauren Boebert, U.S. Congresswoman
'I'm tired of this separation of church and state junk that's not in the Constitution.'
-Lauren Boebert, U.S. Congresswoman
'It was in a stinking letter, and it means nothing like what they say it does.' This was a reference by Boebert to Thomas Jefferson's 1802 missive to the Danbury Baptist Association, in which Jefferson wrote that the First Amendment builds a 'wall of separation between Church and State.' The First Amendment does indeed do this, and states that 'Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.'
