You are not. This drives me nuts too. I swear one day the internet will be nothing but bots posting this spicy-hot take at one another all day every day.
Dude, I live in Wisconsin, there is a MAGA candidate in one of the suburbs and their name is Camacho. I almost choked when I passed the first yard sign.
This is not like Idiocracy.In the movie they at least tried to do their best but failed, and the president asked the smartest people in the world for advice which he then followed.
Idiocracy would have been preferable to this shit.
Idiocracy starts in 2005, and then they wind up waking up 500 years later.
So between 2005 and 2505, intelligence dwindles and society collapses in on itself, until Joe Bauer/Not Sure saves the day.
But there's 500 years of collapse in there, and we're on year 21 of it.
Honestly, I expected the decline to be a bit more gradual, but I guess the movie doesn't make clear how long it took for civilization to reach that point.
Society didn’t collapse in Idiocracy though. There’s still a functioning government, court system and even entertainment industry. Society is hanging on strong.
Most of the presidents before Camacho didnt either, and even Camacho tried to kill the guy halfway through the attempt and gave up on making things better to please the public instead
You say that, but in a sense it is. Those with power are financially incentivized to reduce the education of the working class as make it harder for them to organize and bargain for better conditions and pay.
It also means their children are more likely to have a better education through the private sector meaning there is less competition for them to retain their wealth over generations. Keep the masses dump and malleable and entertained with bread and circuses is how they continually strip away your right our ancestors fought so hard to get.
First time I saw that movie like 20 years ago the opening scene scared me. I could see no flaw in the logic and knew right away it's where we were headed.
Same. As a woman in her early 20s already not wanting kids, it kind of hit home. Literally watching Becky at McDonald's with 3 different baby daddies by the time she was 22. The only thing it got wrong was that it took 500 years and not 25.
Agreed! Especially people that haven’t been born yet, don’t vote for people celebrating the murder of people they disagree with and advocating for the murder of millions of unborn humans. Double standard toting idiot
Fully agree with your call for voting but can we PLEASE get some candidates that would be decent? Trump is an absolute disaster but goddamn I couldn't get on board with Kamala. She easily got beat by Biden the first time around. Why did the DNC think we'd like her being forced on us?
there's a lot of false equivalency, strawman arguments, and bullshit: That sort of are just created to divide us by antisocial media.
The DNC isNT so far from what American people need and want.. but we need to vote in people that we like we cannot keep voting for these half assed christian, hate mongering fear mongering dip, shit right wing extremists. but if the DNC is just giving us mealymouthed milktoast, liars, and shills..... we need more motherfuckers with spines.
GOP is also light years away from what we ACTUALLY NEED.
They're just drumming up more hate and creating more culture warriors. They want more Ashley Babbitts worried about vape lord brittany Griner and who's peeing in what bathroom.
that's why diesel is $10 a gallon. Culture warrior coded creatures voted in and prioritized over healthcare and affordability.
maybe we can now stand united on...
affordability
Release the Epstein files
Justice for the victims
Get the fuck out of Iran
And get the goddamn gas prices down

Idiocracy WAS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE A FUCKING HOW TO GUIDE
edit: holy fuck my inbox is raw
remember to VOTE for people that care about people, not people that only care about 1% of us.
