Kinda subtle, but I notice they like to use the word "truth" instead of "facts".
The president in idiocracy is a better president than the current president of american idiocracy.
President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Camacho is an American treasure. Have the respect to say his name!
(/s obv)
I’m offended. President Camacho wanted the best for his people, and the protagonist wasn’t a buffoon.
President Camacho went out of his way to get the smartest guy he could and provide whatever resources were necessary to solve the problem. Now that's leadership.
He may have not been a good president, but he tried and that’s better than what we have today!
Honestly it feels almost dangerous to call the people in the bottom photo idiots. They know exactly what they’re fucking doing and the cruelty and power are the entire fucking point. This is why Idiocracy can’t actually happen, if the entire population’s intelligence suffered that much we would all be dead long before we got to the world of the film. These people are evil tyrants who are systematically and ruthlessly destroying the fabric of our government and country, not hapless buffoons with good intentions.
Bad comparison.
One is an idiot.
The other is also a nazi on top of that.
I like the idiot more than the nazi idiot.
Truth and sanity to American History?
Day by day and almost minute by minute the past was brought up to date. In this way every prediction made by the Party could be shown by documentary evidence to have been correct; nor was any item of news, or any expression of opinion, which conflicted with the needs of the moment, ever allowed to remain on record. All history was a palimpsest, scraped clean and reinscribed exactly as often as was necessary.
Orwell, 1984
Not bad, but there’s no sane, rational, caring person in the second pic. Just two assholes.
This is the comment I came here to make! The biggest difference between us and Idiocracy is that they listened and let the smart person take control in the movie. There's no hope of that now.
They were pretty much ready to execute that smart guy because the water didn't immediately grow massive crops. Had the others got distracted just a few minutes longer before broadcasting the growth live it may have been too late.
Don't forget racist.
If only it would have stayed true to the timeline of the film and happened in 2505 instead of 2025.
I've been saying for years that Mike Judge is the modern Nostradamus. The dude has called everything from dumb teenagers, to American work culture, to misinformed redneck culture, to Trumpism. Now he's tackling big pharma and government sponsored terrorism and ecoterrorism with Common Side Effects. The dude is just on top of it.
Check out “Common side effects” on “HBO” max! Or other means. It’s a new animated series by him and it’s seriously good.
Oh shit I saw a trailer of that and it looked great, I didn’t know it was Mike Judge. Makes me want to watch it all the more now
For reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h6hlGAzrmMU
anyone care to track down that picture of drumpf with the guy who didn't kill himself?
i thought it was that one but no
Tell me you haven’t watched or really understood Idiocracy without telling me you haven’t watched or really understood Idiocracy.
And ironically the top one is a better president and a smarter advisor
Where the suit?
I keep checking my tap water to see when they will start pumping Mountain Dew
Oh, now they're going directly after American history. No surprise.
The guy on the right has his facial hair cut like he's wearing a covid mask wrong (in chin protection mode)
I did a double take
Damn it. Are they all crazy because of the lack of water they aren’t getting?
