Fear mongering to the point of satire…

Voice acting was superb, but the story was a not so thinly veiled fear fantasy about DJT being re-elected and the supposedly consequential downfall of the US. It was overly cliche and laughable to the point of satire. The effort to ensure all the liberal caricatures were represented was a bit over the top….by the end, they jumped the shark tank. Hilarious.
