      President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Camacho was at least smart enough to find someone smarter than himself to try to fix his counties problems.

      The shitbag and chief we have is not only a fucking moron but an evil fucking con artist wannabe mobster russian sock puppet who cares only for lining his pockets and any power he can abuse.

      Our timeline might be worse?

        In Idiocracy, the president and his cabinet put their smartest people (well, person) in charge with zero pushback and listened to and trusted expert opinion. When a policy failed (Brawndo went out of business and took the economy with it), there was swift punishment for those directly responsible, and when policy succeeded (crops were growing), they quickly pivoted and elevated those responsible. In Idiocracy, the most competent people were put in charge.

        What we have is MUCH worse; people stupid and short-sighted enough to destroy everything in the name of ego and greed, and just smart enough to be successful in their destruction of our societies, governments and planet.

        I would much rather be in Idiocracy if I’m being honest. At least those people were trying their best; can’t fault them for that.

      That’s not true at all.

      Ok, I get this argument and you’re correct about the events of the film but I think when most people say we’re living in Idiocracy they’re talking about before the events of the film and how it got that way. For example, Brawndo had to start being used for crops at some point and it was almost certainly a greedy corporate exec that decided to start advertising it that way.

    When are you all going to stop crying and start making fun of this stuff again.

    So much opportunity for jokes and instead it’s just bitching and moaning.

    Hosting UFC at the White House is insane and so much opportunity to make new shit
