Synopsis
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., AMERICA AT THE POINT OF NO RETURN The next election is the most important one America has faced in more than a century. That's not campaign hype. America is divided as almost never before--with contesting political factions regarding themselves not as rivals but as enemies. And the frightening thing is that, in large part, they're right. The Democratic Party has become the party of "identity politics"--and every one of those identities is defined against a unifying national heritage of patriotism, pride in America's past, and hope for a shared future. Offering only antagonism based on group identity--whether race, sex, or something else--the Democrats look forward to imposing nationally what they have achieved in California: one-party rule in a lockdown nation, where the ruling class makes every decision and doles out benefits to favored groups. Against them is a divided Republican Party. Gravely misunderstanding the opposition, old-style Republicans still seek bipartisanship and accommodation, wrongly assuming that Democrats care about playing by the tiresome old rules laid down in the Constitution and other fundamental charters of American liberty. The new core of the Republican Party is the populists and nationalists, who are tired of losing. The party's only hope of victory, they are all that stand between the United States as we have traditionally understood it and a revolution--less dramatic in appearance but just as consequential as the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia. Michael Anton, the author of the most scathing, memorable, and quoted essay of the 2016 campaign season, "The Flight 93 Election"--which Rush Limbaugh called "one of the greatest columns ever written"--now explains in depth why the stakes have risen even higher. Ranging across every hot-button political topic of our time--from immigration to nationalism to war--and informed by a profound understanding of classical and American political philosophy, The Stakes will transform the way you view politics and America's future., In September 2016, I called that year's presidential contest "The Flight 93 Election." My thesis was simple: a Clinton victory would usher in an era of semi-permanent Democratic-leftist rule. I here add the qualifier "semi-" only to make the point that nothing human lasts forever. But I asserted and still believe that one-party rule of the USA- blue-state politics from coast to coast-could, once established, last a very long time and might end only with the country itself. Since then, the question I'm most frequently asked is: Will 2020 be another "Flight 93 Election"? The tone is almost always one of weariness, a sense that the asker just wants politics to recede in importance, wants all this to be over and things to go back to "normal." I wish I had a more encouraging answer. Yet nothing in the intervening time-certainly not the first half of 2020!-has shaken my confidence in that earlier judgment. ... Either the left achieves the final victory it has long sought, and the only national elections that matter are Democratic primaries to determine who goes on to defeat-inevitably-a hopelessly outnumbered and ineffectual "opposition." Or the Republican Party-or some successor-leads a realignment along nationalist-populist lines that forces the left to moderate and accept the legitimacy of red-state/flyover/"deplorable" concerns. Then real politics-voting, ruling and being ruled in turn, compromise, acceptance of the other side's legitimacy-can return, and the "normal" that so many long for can reemerge. This book is an effort to encourage the latter outcome. Book jacket.
