In recent years, Democrats have talked themselves into a kind of cul-de-sac by agreeing to enforce false pieties about everything from identity politics to Israel to inflation.

Trump is contemptuous of such pieties, as a recent New York Times analysis put it:

“Last Days” barely engages with religion or piety.

He vilifies a ruthless, pleasure-hungry society and wonders if there can be piety without the loss of desire and sexual satisfaction, questioning whether that cultural paradigm was gone before we ever knew it was lost.

Was it, they asked, real piety or young people doing as they were told because that is how it's been here for their whole lives?
