Uncommon Sense – For the Voters Who Can Save America from Itself

David Givot’s Uncommon Sense is a raw, unfiltered, and unapologetic deep dive into the heart of American dysfunction. The book sets out to diagnose the disease of modern politics, tracing its symptoms through history, culture, and ideology. Givot blends civic education with rant, reflection, and rally cry. He moves from the founding documents of the United States to the wreckage of today’s polarized climate. Along the way, he weaves lessons about government, power, media, and morality into something that feels part history textbook, part barroom sermon, part therapy session for a divided country. It’s loud, often funny, sometimes harsh, and always honest.

Givot’s writing is conversational but sharp. He swears, he jokes, he gets sentimental, and then he slams you with a paragraph that makes you sit up straight. He’s angry, but the anger comes from love. Love of country, love of reason, and maybe even a stubborn hope that we aren’t too far gone. He doesn’t coddle anyone. Both parties take hits. The reader gets hit too. At times, it reads like a wake-up call, a challenge to stop being lazy thinkers and to take back the idea of citizenship. What makes the writing work is its rhythm. Sentences snap. Thoughts come in bursts. There’s no polished political language, just a man trying to talk sense in a world that’s lost it.

I’ll admit, I argued with him in my head more than once. He reminds you that real patriotism isn’t about cheering your team; it’s about caring enough to question it. He calls out hypocrisy wherever he finds it, and though he uses humor to soften the blows, the message cuts deep. Reading this book, I felt frustrated, amused, and oddly hopeful. That’s a rare mix, and it’s what kept me turning pages.

In the end, Uncommon Sense isn’t for everyone. If you prefer quiet agreement or delicate politics, this won’t be your thing. But if you’ve ever yelled at the news or wished someone would just say what we’re all thinking, this book will resonate with you. It’s for voters who still believe America can do better, who want to understand how it went off the rails, and who don’t mind being a little uncomfortable while figuring it out. It’s a loud, messy, heartfelt call to think harder, talk honestly, and demand more, from ourselves and from the people we elect.
