I would consider getting out of that work environment.
It sounds like a very unpleasant place to work.

Of course if the boss is repeatedly demeaning somebody or a class of workers, there may be options. It is always worth discussing details with legal counsel.
Labor laws are always expanding (for better or for worse) in the US.

Also you are allowed to take medical leave if the problem is so severe as to interfere with your work.

What is the actual law about using extreme profanity at work?
Can a employer or boss legally use profanity despite employee requests NOT to do so.

Can an employer use the f word at work repeatedly, is that legal/ or illegal?

There is nothing illegal about it per se.

I think making us work at a factory with no proper social distancing is emotional stress and they should be sued for that.

GOP coronavirus bill allows employers to sue workers

A GOP coronavirus bill contains a double whammy for workers. First, it makes it more difficult for workers to sue for contracting COVID-19 at work by requiring the employees to show—by clear and convincing evidence—that reckless behavior by their employer is what exposed them to the coronavirus. Only actual damages would be allowed, except in cases of “willful misconduct,” and then the punitive award couldn’t exceed actual damages. Second, the bill would allow employers to sue workers who make a “meritless” offer to settle out of court. Punitive damages would be allowed in the employer suits
