“Dave’s behavior is upsetting and embarrassing to me.”
I’m thinking Dave would say the same.
I totally agree with uncle Dave except one thing: I would send her the album, “Spirit of the Wild” from Ted Nugent. I would recommend her to play the song, “Kiss my ass!”.
Liberals spouting their "progressive" ideas in college expect us all to pay for them. There is nothing "progressive" about these feudal fascist ideas. Nuts to that as well.
Award for the most clueless, selfish, petty, narcissistic and entitled snowflake response to Uncle/brother Dave... oh the #RustyIrony!!! (envelope please...)
“How can I get my brother to recognize and change his petty behavior?”
If I was Dave I’d say: “Congratulations on your wedding niece and congrats Sis, be proud she’s turned out just like you. So sorry, but giving the newlyweds any of my money makes me feel unsafe, I know you’ll understand. You and new (”progressive?”) hubby can help save the planet by not having children.” Bestooya! Uncle Dave.
Dear Amy,
I’d love to buy Dave a beer sometime and talk politics and nasty family antics. Can you pass this on to him?
tthanks

Okay, this is actually more complex.
First off, why is she uncomfortable? Did he harm/molest her or do something else to her that you are unaware of? If the answer to the reason she is uncomfortable is simply because he doesn’t share her political opinions, then that’s insane.
Second, who is paying for the wedding? If she paid for it, she controls the guest list, but if you paid for it, then unless she was molested or abused by said Uncle, you should have told her to grow up that he is family and he is coming.
Third, to expect a gift after being complete slighted (assuming he has not harmed or molested her), shows your daughter is a horrible human being, and that you raised a brat....
Given you capitulated to her desires, (unless of course there was some history of abuse/molestation), its pretty clear to see how she wound up that we.
I wish her husband good luck, he’s going to need it.
If he had molested or harmed her in some way that made her feel uncomfortable, then she has ever right to not have him attend, but she should not be expecting cash after doing so.
Dave is not at fault.
