Naw. We'll never get there. The idiots in Idiocracy were aware of their own stupidity, and the second they find someone smarter than everyone else, the people in power immediately step down to let him tackle their most pressing issues.

The idiots IRL think they're geniuses, and when the ones in power run into someone smarter than themselves, they run a smear campaign and/or incite violence against that person.

The future we're falling into is much darker than the one depicted in Idiocracy.

President Camacho legitimately being a better leader than most IRL heads of state rn. It wasn't really the guys fault he was an idiot being born at the point of degredation he was and the guy still institutes a state wide intelligence testing program to find the smartest person he can and put that guy in charge.
