This movie predicted the Trump Presidency


The dumbest Americans supported Donald Trump.

A smart population would never have elected him.

In a way, this is worse than Idiocracy because at least President Camacho had the highest IQ and deferred to someone smarter than him to solve a problem.

This has become the modern day although it's still in use, version of calling everything "hitler"

people who have never seen this film, let alone understand it, equating everything they dislike to idiocracy.


it's on both sides of the aisle i mean look at amerigirl, she's supposedly on the right.. but it's this mind dulling boring nonsense of "i can't really argue my point, so i'll equate you with hitler, i'll equate you with this film where people are dumb in it"

it's kinda ironic. looking back at this film 15 years ago and making comparisions might have been smart, now it's just an easy cliche for dummies.

I'd say even Trump's gut flora has a higher IQ than any TDS suffering moron here on moviechat...🤔

Most of the jokes about a dystopia were actually about what it is/was already like in our modern society.

idiocracy is about socialism, at the start it compares wolves with rabbits, if you have an endless supply of something, rabbits have grass, we have the welfate state....then you lose the concept of raising smart children, they don't have to fight to survive or get the intelligence that comes with competition and survival.

a wolf with have very few babies, know she'll have to teach them to hunt, rabbits have endless babies because they don't need to hunt for grass. it's everywhere...
