the left as an implicit admission that the left is politically weaker
That’s not my conclusion from all this. Presidents like Biden and Obama cared about the law somewhat and tried to play by the book, which only seems like their hands were tied when they weren’t. The same goes for other politicians who do get away with a lot of shit. The difference is that Trump likes to make a spectacle out of it.

I once had the guy tell me to enter and exit the building discreetly because the other tenants weren’t supposed to know he was subleasing the apartment. I think they knew.

Pretty much since their inception, although it has waxed and waned with public perception.
It started out strong for a little while until people got used to the idea, as they did with pretty much everything. But it’s still not a religious taboo per se. That’s simply resistance to change and fear of the unknown, but it was not as extreme as other taboos with life-changing consequences.
What do you mean by pedophilia is a taboo? Religions like Islam and Christianity allow large age gaps in marriage. Wasn’t the Virgin Mary like 13 when she got knocked up by Joseph and blamed it on the Holy Spirit? Mohammed married Aisha when she was six at the age of 40, and a lot of the Islamic culture revolves around arranged marriages that allow it. And those are only the dominant religions. I’m sure we can find more examples in the lesser ones because the concept of childhood and its sanctity is not that old.
The Madonna–whore complex is attributed to Freud, who coined it in the 60s. How was it ever a religious taboo?
Whichever the case, we’re burying the lede: where’s the interplay between secularism and religiosity that informs one another among all these?

Vaccines? Has that ever been a taboo? That’s a general and recent attitude.
Alright, fair with cannibalism being frowned upon. I still can’t think of many more significant examples.
- Comment on My Religion 1 week ago:
Do you have examples? If that were true, religious taboos would be more rational.
