Last weekend, a dozen socially conservative organizations hosted their annual Values Voter Summit in Washington. The forum claims to advocate “traditional marriage, religious liberty, sanctity of life and limited government.” In 2015, only 5 percent of participants in a Values Voter straw poll picked Donald Trump as their first choice for president, placing him in a distant fifth. But this year’s conference closed ranks around him.


Defending an inveterate liar, lecher, and abuser is trickier than speaking for Jesus. It requires a new moral code. What should “values voters” stand for in the age of Trump? Here are the new values, according to the conference speakers.

1. Good works don’t matter.

2. Authenticity trumps virtue.

3. Everything is transactional.

4. God belongs to the West.

5. Worship the state.

6. Don’t welcome the stranger.

7. Take pride in your enemies.

8. Tear things down.
