To understand the nationalist populism that has upended politics in America and Europe we have to understand the spiritual issues at stake. The postwar consensus that sought to weaken men's oldest and strongest attachments is breaking down as the "strong gods" -- nationalism and religion among them -- reassert themselves. R. R. Reno considers the new form of conservatism that this historical moment requires.
