Pros of the Idiocracy world:
* rehabilitation includes death
* they still have cash!
* jail is bad, so no one wants to go
* so much is on automatic intelligence isn’t required
* computers that can run centuries without human maintenance

Cons of the Idiocracy world:
* populated with Democrats based on willingness to riot and free sex
* none of the geniuses thought to put sterilization in the computer as a requirement after one or two babies for the stupid

You simply MUST watch Idiocracy. You must.

Some of the smartest, yet dumbest humor ever put on the screen. Every scene is pure cinematic and storytelling genius.

The other danger of using this guy: Obama is black, tries to act tough while waffling.
Camacho as a character immediately reminds people of Obama, as a black male president. And he was also VERY ineffective, due to ignorance and idiocy.
This is like Hillary’s woman card ad that looks like a toilet sign and credit card, all bad associations. It cannot come out good for Obama or democrats - especially where everyone who saw the movie remembers the world saved by the white guy talking common sense coming to power.

“he’s one of best independent political thinkers I know of.”

I agree. While never knowing him personally or professionally, I’ve seen interviews with him and a least a chunk of his writing.

I would venture to say that he’s a Trump fan. The point of Idiocracy is that it took today’s events to their logical conclusions.

And by “today’s events” I mean every single thing in the federal government EXCEPT Trump. They are all the idiots that led up to his telling of the future.

Now, the film's writers, Etan Cohen and Mike Judge, are prepping a series of anti-Trump spots starring Crews as Camacho.

Could this possilby work? How ironic?

I always got the sense Judge was kind of conservative. Idiocracy is one of those Rorschach test for viewers. I see it as a warning about PC liberalism run amok. They see it as the result of conservatism run amok. I think they’re wrong.

I thought they were probably upset when Obama got in - it changed their movie from Sci-Fi to Poly-Sci.

That’s so funny..... We have been calling our fearless leader “President Mountain Dew” for years.... You mean that isn’t his REAL name?

Go watch the 2nd season of Silicon Valley. There were episodes they made fun of the libs a couple of times.

I wasn’t crushed or anything to hear this but I was disappointed. Like you I aleays thought that Idiocraqcy was a mockumentary about the result of liberalism unchecked. It doesn’t work the other way. And skits built upon the Idiocracy meme highlighting Trump simply won’t be funny.
