John,
This is a dangerous and uncertain time for America.
The stakes for our country have never been higher, in part due to the rise of fundamentalist, extremist, and fascist politicians who are pursuing an oppressive and restrictive vision of America that is nothing short of frightening.
A recent example is, as always, Lauren Boebert. At a religious service in Colorado last Sunday, she said: “The church is supposed to direct the government. The government is not supposed to direct the church. That is not how our Founding Fathers intended it.”
She added: “I’m tired of this separation of church and state junk that’s not in the Constitution."
