In a time of unprecedented division, Uncommon Sense: For Voters Who Can Save America from Itself cuts through the chaos with clarity, courage, and constitutional insight. In this irreverent and entertaining book, David Givot challenges the angry echo chambers on both sides, urging readers to think rationally and logically and to revisit the founding principles that made this nation strong. Uncommon Sense questions how far we’ve drifted—so we can get back on track.

The immeasurable abundance of misinformation and outright lies, combined with the unfettered vitriol cloaked in the anonymity of the internet, are feeding the beast of hate faster than anything ever has in our history. If the misinformation and hatred don’t end, America will.

Drawing from American history, the Constitution, and the voices of past leaders, Uncommon Sense makes the case that it’s not politicians who will save America, but informed, engaged, and principled voters who dare to think critically, ask questions, and speak civilly.

This is not a book for the far left or the far right—the extremes on both sides may hate its message. Uncommon Sense is for every American who’s tired of the shouting and the noise and the hate; for every American who is willing to have a real conversation.

Getting there is going to require that we put away our biases and party allegiances; that we take a deep breath and open our minds; that we flush away everything we have been told about governing and politics by network media corporations, social media content creators, and clickbait talking point headlines. We must adopt a position of simple pragmatism and logic—we must all think it through to find the simplest solutions for voters and politicians alike to pursue and tap into the true greatness America has to offer in the twenty-first century and beyond. Getting there is going to require that we ask more questions and listen to more answers . . . and that we normalize talking about it civically.
