In all honesty I look at Idiocracy exactly like I do 1984 and Brave New World. Documentaries.
Every bit of those works is mirrored in modern society. The Surveillance state and thoughtcrime. Embryos with three or more parents/designer kids. The parallels between global warming hysteria and the belief that Brawndo makes plants grow.
Liberals looked at pretty much every work of dystopia and said “You know, this is a really good idea.”
