Dear Editor:
Suggest The Spectator take a little broader view than Patricia Roberts-Miller in “Deconstructing Trump.” Associating conservative Christianity with Hitler, Mein Kampf, slavery, segregation, and lynching is a bit of a stretch, and unbalanced history at best. Suggest you guys, as well as Ms. Miller, take a look at what church Dietrich Bonhoeffer attended along with the role that conservative Christian Quakers played in the whole abolition movement as a couple of examples.
Remember, that in order to be a hypocrite there has to be standards that you are not living up to.

Patricia Roberts-Miller responds:
My argument was that conservative Christians supported Nazism and other instances of reactionary authoritarianism, and Mr. Carey has responded with instances of progressive Christians who opposed reactionary authoritarianism. I think he is, unintentionally, supporting my point.
