Democrats should act like they think a fascist party is on the brink of total control

Every product America makes is getting SHITTIER to the point where our flagship- airplanes- are falling out of the sky, and it's all due to MBA's and Economists making the dumbest most obviously bad decisions on all fronts for decades. We literally killed the golden goose to juice shareholder value.
