Trump told white evangelical Christians that they had a right and a duty to impose their morality

Relgiously held moral virtues will always be enforced. That is the intrinsic nature of government. This atheist Jew is attempting to impose his relgious morals by writing this article, and the progressive virtues of hedonistic cosmopolitanism are fundamentally immoral. It creates a soulless society of "new narcissists" wallowing in the ruins of civilization.

[The new narcissist] seeks not to inflict his own certainties on others but to find a meaning in life. Liberated from the superstitions of the past, he doubts even the reality of his own existence. Superficially relaxed and tolerant, he finds little use for dogmas of racial and ethnic purity but at the same time forfeits the security of group loyalties and regards everyone as a rival for the favors conferred by a paternalistic state. His sexual attitudes are permissive rather than puritanical, even though his emancipation from ancient taboos brings him no sexual peace... Acquisitive in the sense that his cravings have no limits, he does not accumulate goods and provisions against the future, in the manner of the acquisitive individualist of nineteenth century political economy, but demands immediate gratification and lives in a state of restless, perpetually unsatisfied desire.
