Publisher's summary

Two months before the 2016 presidential election, an anonymously published essay titled The Flight 93 Election rallied conservatives to charge the cockpit by voting for Trump. Michael Anton, the author of that controversial viral essay, now says that the last few years have only served to prove his Flight 93 thesis: The left has become more aggressive, more vindictive, and more dangerous - and the stakes have never been higher.

To reframe the upcoming 2020 election, Anton looks at California: a state that has descended from a middle-class paradise into crumbling, crowded chaos under unchallenged Democrat rule. Where California goes, so goes the United States of America, Anton argues - unless conservatives take a stand.

Both liberals and conservatives should be disgusted at how we are being ruled by the elite

This book underscores the problems with are elitist government and the need for change regardless of what party you’re in. Unless you’re one of the elite you are getting screwed. It concisely outlines the problems and why there is a real need for change in our system of governance.

Narrator Didn't Do His Homework

This book was well on its way to becoming an all-time Audible classic for me. But after listening to Chapter 1--a very loooong chapter--I could take no more of the narrator's mispronunciations. This chapter is about California and its degradation by purpose and neglect over the past several decades. The narrator failed to learn how to pronounce many cities, streets and areas. Mah-rin (Marin) becomes Mare-in. And so forth.

This happens over 20 times in the first chapter alone until I could finally take no more. If I had been the narrator and as unfamiliar with California as he clearly is I would have underlined all the questionable words to me and called a friend who lives in California for clarification. That's called "due diligence."

And this happened with common words as well. So repetitive becomes re-pe-ti-TA-tive--and there is simply no such word.

I gave this five stars because that's where it seemed headed and it's not fair to penalize the author here. But Dan Crue completely ruined this book for me and I'll be asking for an exchange.. If I were author Michael Anton, who was on his way to a brilliant sociological study, I would call the publisher, yell a few choice words, and demand a re-record with another narrator. (It's only a month or two from publication date. There is still time to save this.) Both narrator and publisher should be embarrassed by this substandard edition of what is surely a very fine book.

I recently signed on to a group called White Allies our of Unity Church

I recently signed on to group called White Allies out of Unity Church, in San Diego, virtually, on how to become an “anti racist”. Everything they had us read or listen to was VERY left. I suggested we needed to look at what the right is saying. I was squelched. We have one more session and you can bet that I will recommend this book!
Thank you for your hours spent on putting this book together and getting it published. Bob Peterson

Brilliant Book

Chapters a little long for audio listening, but author has some interesting ideas. Definitely worth the time.
