The braver Angels chapter in my neighborhood does mostly online stuff. Not much for a guy who likes in person stuff. Always thought I would be a good fit there, but a storm messed up a lot here in Western North Carolina.
I would be a great fit there, and enjoy all of your content, because I long ago learned that the truth is in the middle.
Thanks again for an insightful and well expressed writing.
Dave, please continue to write, and make sure we'll know the platform so as not to miss anything. Again, nicely written and certainly applicable. I'll not get political with my in-law family; I know a zinger or two will fly, but I won't take the bait. Let's hear it for wine!
So beautifully written, Dave…your measured insights are a welcome reminder that there are still balanced, rational people out in the world. It can sometimes feel isolating to be in any room that’s filled with anger or division, and your writing is always a true breath of fresh air.
I hope that you choose to remain on Substack, or if you decide to move on, then I hope to be able to follow you and support you.
Thank you so very much for your wonderful writing! I am truly thankful for you and for all of your gifts that you choose to share with the world 💜
A thoughtful, well-written essay that touches on so many things, but I especially relate to what you wrapped up with- "We go to all of this trouble and expense because deep down inside we know that our lives are a gift." Yep! Such a gift, and too precious to waste. Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday, because it's about family and friends and sharing our abundance and gratitude. Enjoy yours, Dave, and thanks for your thoughtful insights! ☺️
Oh! And I might recommend this (maybe too late for tomorrow, but T-day might give you a pattern to explore in this workshop): https://braverangels.org/families-and-politics-training/ There's an e-course, and then there's online, and if you're interested, we can get an in-person session set up for you and some friends....
Thanks again Dave for taking the time and effort to write. I don’t really like the purple map. I’m thankful it’s currently red, but also thankful it was turned blue 4 years ago. When I see purple I see the recent collapse of the German government coalition.
Dave, thanks for a well written essay. Great start for the Thanksgiving Holiday.

Aww ... you're too kind to me, Justine. Have a great Thanksgiving. Hope to see you around the yard real soon. Love you ... Dave
Happy Thanksgiving, Dave… Pls pass my salutations and holiday wishes to Alexia…
Much love you you both…
(I will be passing this around at our celebration… A lovely way to explain and foment the healing of our divisions… Thx for your words, brother…)
Happy Thanksgiving, Jeff. Much love to you and yours.
Beautifully written, spot-on and worth reading more than once! Thanks, Dave.
Thank you Dave!
Heartwarming inspiration and a new apt and useful phrase! Thank you!

Happy Thanksgiving Dave and fellow readers. Thanks for the thought provoking essays and comments.
Amen brother

Purple just means balance. What situation is better without balance? None that I know of.
