The United States of Idiocracy

[lunatica]

"President" Trump. No further explanation needed.

1. Idiocracy...

...was a very funny movie. It is really terrifying that it looks more like a documentary now a days then the comedy it was presented as.

2. It's like the Twilight Zone of Idiocracy

I loved that movie. Now all I can think about is how it would really be like if it were true.

3. Idiocracy is so relevant now, worth another viewing.

4. That's what most people I know were saying about Reagan when he was running for President.

Now he's been thoroughly rehabilitated in the corporate media produced national memory. People get used to a level of idiocy and then we all move on to the next level. The corporate owned media has been baking the potential intelligence of Americans at ever higher temperatures since as long as I can remember. Yep, watering the crops with Gatorade? Great idea!

5. I think even Reagan would be shocked by Trump

And it was Reagan who started the movement that swerved to the extreme Right that has spawned the likes of Trump. I've personally watched it happen over the years.
