The single biggest way a subversive can change America is not by disagreeing less, but by disagreeing better—engaging in earnest debate while still treating everyone with love and respect.

Despite some frustrations I had with assumptions Brooks makes earlier in the book, I do think he makes an accurate diagnosis of the problems currently raging and keeping America separated from itself. And I think he has a good suggestion on the prescription needed to get back to the debates and iron sharpening iron that have made America a great people and nation. It is one we can be again. But it has to start with respecting differences and disagreeing, as he says here, better.
