From the article:

In “The Flight 93 Election,” Decius considered the 2016 election as a game of Russian roulette for conservatives. A President Clinton would all but assure annihilation of everything they hold dear. “With Trump, at least you can spin the cylinder and take your chances,” he wrote.

Just read “The Flight 93 Election”.

It is good, but misunderstands how we got to where we are.

The Left did not just happen to take over the schools, academia, and think tanks. It happened because of the centralization of the media, its takeover by “progressivism” and the lack of any serious opposition to it for decades.

Trump’s rise did not happen because Trump picked the right issues. That was part, but not the most important part.

The most important part was that we had built new and alternate media that could get Trump’s message out. He was able to fight the Establishment media and win. The new media was not built by Trump, but he took full advantage of it.

That is why Trump’s election will prove effective and lasting. The Mediacracy’s hold on the dissemination of infromation has been broken. It cannot easily be put back together.

And Trump is exactly the President we need to fragment the media establishment, and set it to fighting each other and aggressively checking each other for “Fake News”.

The Establishment media is the key, and Anton does not emphasize that enough.
