    In Idiocracy the president hired the world’s smartest man to successfully solve an existential problem.

    We’re in a significantly worse situation.

      I’d like to add that the Honorable President Dwayne Camacho didn’t rape kids.

      I’ve been reading political fiction since I was in grade school.

      Including Lex Luthor, the President on “24” who was being controlled by a cabal, and the one who goes insane* Trump is still the worst of them all.

        Holy shit, that wiki plot synopsis

        Iowa Senator Jim MacVeagh is summoned to Camp David by US President Mark Hollenbach. MacVeagh, who is expected to become Hollenbach’s next Vice President, becomes concerned because Hollenbach shows signs of intense paranoia. He erratically expresses his desire to develop a closer relationship between the United States and the Soviet Union, and attempts to cut ties with US allies in Europe. Hollenbach believes the US news media are conspiring against him. MacVeagh is the only person who notices that Hollenbach’s mind is crumbling, as the presidential advisors and politicians he attempts to warn ignore him. The sole person in possession of evidence of Hollenbach’s mental decline is his mistress, Rita. Hollenbach puts both MacVeagh and Rita under an FBI investigation.

        Anybody reading this should guess when you think this book was written.

        Because I sure as fuck could hardly believe the answer is 1965

      I always felt that that current times are the buildup to Idiocracy rather than actually being Idiocracy. All the people in charge who did stupid shit that led to that world are what is happening now.

      It’s been a worse situation since 2019. It really doesn’t hit the same anymore.

    A thing I find funny as fuck.

    President Camacho, once it was shown to him that plants need water, did the right thing.

    Think about it, a president, doing what needs to be done, even against the wishes of the elites

    • Phantaloons@piefed.zip ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Imagine what Camacho could do with 6 months of presidential immunity if he had it at the end of his term.

      You know,… unlike someone in particular.

        Can we decide the presidency via cage fight instead of election? I know a place to hold the festivities…

      Yeah but by then the elites were also dumbed down along with the rest of the people, as everything was taken care of by the computer systems, so he had very little resistance.

      For the last time, I’m pretty sure… what’s killing the crops is this Brawndo stuff.

      But Brawndo’s got what plants crave. It’s got electrolytes.

      So wait a minute. What you’re saying… is that you want us to put water on the crops.

      Yes. Water.

      Like out the toilet?

      Well, I mean, it doesn’t have to be out of the toilet, but, veah, that’s the idea.

      But Brawndo’s got what plants crave. It’s got electrolytes.

      Okay, look.

      The plants aren’t arowing, so l’m pretty sure that the Brawndo’s not working. Now, I’m no botanist, but I do know that if you put water on plants, they grow.

      Well, I’ve never seen no plants grow out of no toilet.

      Hey, that’s good. You sure you ain’t the smartest guy in the world?

      You wanna solve this problem. I wanna get my pardon So why don’t we just try it, okay, and not worry about what plants crave?

      Brawndo’s got what plants crave.

      Goddamn it. Yeah, it’s got electrolytes.

      What are electrolytes? Do you even know?

      It’s what they use to make Brawndo.

      Yeah, but why do they use them to make Brawndo?

      'Cause Brawndo’s got electrolytes.

      After several hours, Joe finally gave up on logic and reason… and simply told the cabinet that he could talk to plants… and that they wanted water. He made believers out of everyone.

        This movie is no longer satire it’s documentary, COVID made me realize how people act in movies is almost 1:1 in reality. The same with the current state we have now.
