In the aftermath of the election and in the days leading up to Thanksgiving, Dallas and I discuss strategies for dealing with people that are highly disagreeable or sensitive in their points of view.

Topics:

Separator or mediator?

Are we inherently tribal?

The dangers and perks of cliques.

Unnecessary exclusion versus forming genuine friendship based on common interests.

Being careful when cliquish preferences are denying people opportunities.

Focusing on commonality more so than differences.
