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.

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.

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

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.

This book was better than I expected. Narrated VERY well. Anton says in advance he’s sorry for some in part shallow coverage on certain topics. I found myself looking for more in this already stuffed book on Americas current and potential future endeavors. I hardly review audiobooks. This is a must listen if you breathe air in America.

There is so much in this book that I can't even begin to unpack. It is so well written and I feel is a must read for every American no matter your political stripe. Michael Anton is scholar whose voices are becoming extinct.

In today's environment EVERYTHING is political. If you hang a flag in front of your house, you are called a racist bigot. The media is so unbalanced that it's hard to know what is going on and no one just gives you facts without spin or opinion so you can think for yourself. There is no longer a middle ground, no neutral. As of this writing (Mid October 2020) we are watching censorship of the right by big tech in real time. This book is trying to wake people up and maybe shake people up to get them to understand just how far we have been allowed to crumble and offer a path to helping right our ship before it sinks completely. My regret is that I did not buy it sooner so that I could recommend it to friends and family before they cast their vote. I won't stop trying though.

The only minor complaint I have is with the Narrator. He is obviously not a native Californian based on his pronunciation of Marin, Sepulveda, and a couple of others that had me cringing. I have seen Michael Anton in interviews and in the movie The Plot Against The President and he has a fine voice. I would have loved to hear him read his own book.

Incredible and eye opening
