A communication manual for liberals who want to create meaningful conversations with Republicans and other with differing views
Liberal distain for Trump supporters inflames their resentment, entrenches their loyalty to Trump and enhances Trump's populist appeal
This book shows how to use Powerful Non-Defensive Communication™ to engage in respectful dialogue to defuse hostility, build trust and open hearts and minds
Vilification of the other, superior, antagonizing behaviour, self-righteous and condescending behaviour simply makes matters worse.
Find out how to communicate respectfully and effectively across the great divide
Contains dozens of examples of questions you can ask and position statements you can make on hot button issues such as abortion, immigration, terrorism, climate change, racism and sexual misconduct
Empowers the reader to express passionately held beliefs in ways that inspire open-minded consideration rather than defensive rejection
Similar to The Opposite of Hate by Sally Kohn and I'm Right and You're an Idiot by James Hoggan however this book includes specific advice on how to communicate across lines of difference

Audience:
Resistance organizers, get out the vote organizers and trainers, liberals and progressives with conservative family and friends, democratic party candidates

Canada:
These tools will translate easily into Canadians speaking with Americans and, with election of Doug Ford and upcoming Federal election candidates, will be applicable to Canadian politics as well.
