What liberal Christians in the United States should do this election year is not endorse any one particular candidate. They should express their liberalism.

John Dean notes in Conservatives Without Conscience that

Lionel Trilling, a leading voice of the left, observed in 1950 that in 'the United States at this time, liberalism is not only the dominant but the sole intellectual tradition. . . . [T]here are no conservative or reactionary ideas in general circulation.'" Trilling, for a while, was correct. [...] The work of conservative scholars, which had commenced in the late forties, although inconsequential at first, did serve to create a foundation for modern conservatism, and a philosophy was developed from scratch. (pp. 11-12)
