Will 2028 Be the True “Flight 93” Election?
The debate surrounding whether future political contests carry existential stakes touches on core philosophical questions within modern conservative thought. Rich breaks down why framing upcoming presidential cycles through the famous "Flight 93" lens—suggesting conservatives must charge the cockpit or risk total nation-state destruction—distorts political reality and undermines long-term institutional strategy. From examining the original conservative arguments behind existential political messaging to explaining why treating every vote as an all-or-nothing crisis harms institutional stability and constitutional norms, Rich analyzes the risks of apocalyptic political framing.
