Not really

All the crazy US government shit going on right now can be traced back to religious organizations and the mega wealthy

If anything, the US today is what happens when the walk between government and church finally falls. Welcome fraud, abuse, and corruption

    If you want an example of church and state merging, look at Utah.

    Trump and his ilk are the yankee predilection for frauds and hucksters. It's always been a mainstay of US life and politics, they're just not always in the driver's seat. Andrew Jackson springs to mind.
