"Idiocracy has been a long-cherished sci-fi satire in cult circles, telling the tale of two people who wake up from a cryogenic sleep to find that the country has become a wasteland of anti-intellectualism.
Now, ten years later, the co-writer of the cult comedy classic, Etan Cohen, thinks that the movie is satire no longer, marveling that his movie has gone from fiction to non-fiction. On Twitter today, Cohen used his movie to perfectly sum up our current political climate.
I never expected #idiocracy to become a documentary.
— Etan Cohen (@etanjc) February 24, 2016
Speaking with The Hill, he quipped that “I thought the worst thing that would come was everyone wearing Crocs.” Cohen’s jokes come from a place of disenchanted exhaustion. Many voters are sharing in this exhaustion during an election season where a reality show host who gloated recently “I love the poorly educated!” is a frontrunner for President of the United States of America.

“People will email and post stuff on my Twitter that’s like, ‘Hey, you predicted it right!’ So that’s always nice. But it’s not always nice because you want the world to become a better place,” Mike Judge, the other co-writer and director of the film, told The Verge in 2014. “Yep, we’re doomed. Might as well make jokes about it.”
Terry Crews, the ex-football player and current actor and TV personality who played the role of the nation’s outlandish leader, President Camacho, posted his own likeness on Twitter to mock the ongoing election back in January.

I'm suprised I haven't seen this considering I love everything else Mike Judge has done.

"Idiocracy" becoming reality in the US, "Planet of the Apes" becoming a reality in Europe.
We're screwed.

It wasn't a big hit, plus it pissed a lot of people off. I'd recommend watching it, but it's not that great. Originally Posted by fengosa

It hasn't really come true, merely people are just never ready in America at least and increasingly elsewhere, are willing to trust Intellectuals as a class of people.
Experts make bad calls, sometimes disastrously bad calls.On MMO-C we learn that Anti-Fascism is locking arms with corporations, the State Department and agreeing with the CIA, But opposing the CIA and corporate America, and thinking Jews have a right to buy land and can expect tenants to pay rent THAT is ultra-Fash Nazism.

I loved the movie. Absolutely one of the most accurate sci-fi movies these years. And yes, people being pissed off about someone telling them how dumb they really are is exactly what's to be expected. Again, Idiocracy is the perfect reference for this. Originally Posted by Felya

I still have yet to see a couch toilet or shows that are focused solely on kicking guys in the balls. But Donald Trump isn't president yet, so I'll get it a few more years.

Iwell you have kids watching adults play with toys on youtube you have game enthusiasts watching people play videogames, you have people who want to restrict freedom of speech because they find contradiction offensive, you have people who reject science because of political or religious beliefs and lastly people who believe trump will make america great again...

Sadly enough, I'd be far more willing to vote for Camacho for President than any of the actual candidates we have right now.

And it has been. It has been summed up for me when I messaged someone about a viral Facebook post they shared being completely false. Their reply? "So what?"
It saddens me to see how many people just share everything they see with no critical thinking, investigation, or education behind whatever it says. What is more appalling is how readily they believe undocumented sources and deride anyone who has actual evidence.
