    Am I the only one who found a message of “hope” in Idiocracy? We start at a future dystopia approaching human extinction caused by following some of the worst trends in current society. Then a savior appears, and they’re smart enough to actually follow him? They’re able to overcome some of their worst natures and start on the road to recovery.

    Here we are, “Idiocracy .001”, folks. We are at the point where they haven’t even realized that they need a person with an actual brain. It will get worse, much worse. Maybe they will pick a pedophile for attorney general. Oh, wait.

      Wow, I wasn’t even paying attention to her. Looks like she and Lauren Bobblehead both kept their seats. I really think this election confirms that we’re in a simulation, and a drunk grad student just fucked with it.
