    I literally saw a comment about a month ago on Lemmy saying “what’s next, wrestling matches in the white house?” Or something like that.

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

        IIRC. Maybe I should re-watch it.

        Yeah, there weren’t leagues of malevolent rich assholes seeking to make the world worse for their own profits. Just a bunch of idiots who apparently forgot how to think.

      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.

      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.)

    Probably just a coincidence that Paramount is purchasing UFC exclusive steaming rights in a seven year deal.

      skydance a trumper, trying to save the dying stream industry, trying to get the conservative audience on board.

      without TREK, and south park, Theres no reason to even have paramount.

        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.

          The problem with that is the world has to get bad enough for President Camacho to help the world. We’re in the Pre-Camacho era
