I stopped talking to my dad because we voted differently
The more I was able to productively disagree with people, the more I realized that I didn’t need them to agree with me in order for me to be okay. I found strength and peace in myself that left me feeling more empowered, even when the world felt scary and out of control.

I really appreciate how well Braver Angels is bringing together folks with different backgrounds who decide to work together for the betterment of our society. This is working well, and is an idea that has promise for a positive future in our country. Ultimately, this idea can become a world-wide endeavor where folks can see positive elements in the character of others that can make definite improvements for everyone in our world.
Thanks John, we needed your perspective this week, in particular. I hope more will share it as I did.
