It makes me really sad to realize Mike Judge was only wrong about one thing in Idiocracy... that it would take 400 years for us to get there...because here we are, not even 20 years later.

The idiots in Idiocracy were aware of their own stupidity, and when they found a guy smarter than everyone else the people in power stepped aside and put him in charge of tackling their most pressing issues.
The idiots IRL think they're geniuses, and when they encounter someone smarter than themselves, who's more qualified than they are to do their job, they run a smear campaign and/or incite violence against that person.
The future depicted in Idiocracy is a fucking paradise compared to where we're headed.
Eeeeeeeeeehhhhhhhh.... One Idiot in Idiocracy was aware of it and paved the way for the smarter people, but even he had to act dumber than he is to convince the even more moronic masses that this was the right thing to do. And even that almost failed and got the smart guy almost killed.
Exactly. I don't think the person above remembers the movie particularly well. They were actively trying to kill him until Maya Rudolph saved the day and showed everyone the smartest man in the world was right.
