    How is this not the Idiocracy timeline? I’d anything it feels like the pace of the “dumbing down” is too fast.

      The president in Idiocracy sought the help of someone smart.

      Y’all need to remember that and realize we are way past this movie.

        He could also form coherent sentences, was in Terry Crews-shape, and didn’t shit himself once. We’re already well into Idiocracy 2: Electric Boogaloo territory.

        Ignorant but willing to learn. And laugh about farts, not violence.

        IIRC. Maybe I should re-watch it.

      Absolutely, idiocracy was too optimistic. In their version, it took 500 years to get there.

      We’ll be there in a generation, maybe 2. (If we have that many generations.)

        As is usually pointed out, the similarities are not strong.

        President Camacho actually wanted to help his people, hired the smartest person he could find, and listened to his advice.

          And stepped down as President in the end to let someone else lead. For a better comparison of leadership now, look at Don’t Look Up. Far more realistic in so many ways.

        My favorite thing is taking pictures of them grappling, then putting a black censor bar over the trunks so it looks like they’re having sex. Turns out it’s really really easy to make it look gay(er).
