SUMMARY:Don’t talk politics
DESCRIPTION:  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWe know you care a lot about your community\, and you want to talk with friends and family about what is happening in our country in a way that breaks through. These conversations can be challenging! \nSo when you’re at a table with some friends and you hear one of them say\, “Well\, at least Donald Trump’s tariffs are good for the economy!” we know that you are ready to jump in with the facts about why\, actually\, Trump’s tariffs are not good for the economy\, and neither are several other things he’s doing\, and then give all the reasons . . . \nExcept\, did you know that debate like that usually doesn’t work?  \nThe truth is that trying to change minds through debate often backfires\, and words alone rarely shift opinions. That’s why we’re here with some unusual advice: Don’t talk politics. \nJoin us on September 4 at 7:30PM ET to hear from Dr. Sarah Stein Lubrano\, author of Don’t Talk Politics\, as she shares how to break through polarization\, build trust\, and turn everyday conversations into meaningful change. \nRSVP for How to Change Minds Without Talking Politics! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSarah is an Oxford-trained researcher who has a PhD in political cognitive dissonance theory – you know the feeling you get when you try to wrap your head around the fact that people in the most need of assistance tend to vote for politicians that advocate for cutting assistance? Yeah\, that’s cognitive dissonance.  \nHer latest book Don’t Talk Politics is a deep dive into how an increasingly polarized world has made us more close minded\, and how we can break through those barriers. \nShe is an expert in what changes people’s minds\, and she’s the perfect person to talk to us about how to change the minds of our friends and family so we can defeat extremists who are attacking our rights! \nJoin us next Thursday to learn why relationships\, community building\, and shared experiences are the best pathway to influencing and persuading others. It’s time to focus less on winning arguments and more on actually winning people over! \nRSVP to learn  the tools you can use right away to better connect with your friends\, family\, and community. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRSVP
