    President Camacho also put the smartest person he could find in charge of fixing problems.

    Used to think Idiocracy was dystopian. Turns out it's the utopian version of events.

    Sometimes I think Trump watched Idiocracy and thought it was an instructional video

    What a fucking circus. I hope he never gets funding for his stupid ballroom, and he has to spend his entire presidency looking at a giant fucking muddy hole of his own creation, like the Slumlord he knows he is at his core.

    Camacho would make a far better president. He actually appointed the smartest man alive to fix things.

    Camacho was a GREAT President. Actually paid attention to the fact that his people were starving / running out of burrito coverings, found someone smarter than him to fix a problem he didn't understand, and gave that person the authority to implement a solution without micromanaging.

    But there's the other side of it too, that usually get ignored.

    Camacho also showed that when someone jerks him around and wrecks the world economy, he will happily send them for 'rehabilitation'. I think there's a lot of people in our government and business world that could use some 'rehabilitation'.

    Idiocy would make for a utopia compared to what we're stuck with, which is malice. The future we're building is much darker than the one depicted in Idiocracy.

    Once they recognize that there is are problems and then find the smartest people in the world to solve them, we can compare it to Idiocracy. So far they've done the opposite - made problems worse, create new problems, and got rid of the smart people trying to work on it.

    You know all those dystopian movies that feature evil people watching the lower classes fighting in a large public ring for pure violent pleasure? We are now in all those movies merged into one badly written featureless film. Can someone find the remote and hit the off button please.

    These people are shallow and depravedly hedonistic, sure, but not "simple". They're not mentally handicapped, they have chosen, every day of their lives, to be cunts. To be evil. To care only about themselves because it's the core and only commandment of Western civ: no matter the consequences, get the bag/fuck you, I got mine. American society as a whole might be shockingly stupid and resemble the folks in Idiocracy, but the leaders aren't, they're just very very very evil people, and that's a matter of personal choice.

    I remember 30+ years ago telling my parents "Everyone at school is a moron. I'm surrounded by morons all day long!!!"

    They tried telling me it was all in my head. I now realize that my parents are ALSO morons.

    I mean, not the kind that voted for trump.....but the simple kind. The kind that orders something from amazon, package claims delivered but it's not, then suddenly the neighbor has the same thing they bought and is missing. Multiple times. Yet they refuse to believe that their neighbor is an asshole.

    So I waited until they went on vacation, put an amazon box on their porch, which was actually a glitter stink bomb.

    Neighbor stole it, got pissed off, and tried going to my parents door to complain to them about it. Except they weren't even in the country.

    NOW they believe me when I tell them the obvious, that their neighbor is a theif, and that they need porch cameras.

    But again, my parents are morons. So instead of a self hosted option, they went with ring cam.

    Yes. I know. I already know all about the privacy issues. They don't believe me.

    It figures that this guy's favorite "sport" is two people just beating the shit out of each other. He's the American Caligula, if he could order them to fight to the death, he would.

    The only part where Idiocracy was wrong is the heritability of IQ.

    It's so frustrating as an mma fan of 20+ years that this is happening. Absolutely radioactive and poisonous administration. Imagine how shitty you have to be to make this sport (which I love) look worse.

    As usual, they will do whatever they feel like in the moment, regardless of reason or hypocrisy or morals. You know the type.

    Ideocracy: People don't have the mental capacity to see what's wrong. The ruling elite is just stupid.
    Current timeline: People know exactly what's wrong and are captured in a system spiraling to the bottom. The ruling elite does the wrong thing on purpose because of expected personal gains.

    This is not Ideocracy. It's oligarchy.
