It turns out "idiocracy" is actually a documentary.
I would vote for this man over Trump in a heartbeat!
Camacho definitely understood there was a problem, sought after someone much smarter to help solve it. Can't say any politician today would be humbled to do something like that.
Camacho actually cared about his people and did his best to help.
I'd honestly prefer that scenario to our current one. At least they were just stupid and not cartoonishly evil.
It's been said many times, but to say it a different way: the government and Camacho in Idiocracy were much much better, since they immediately elevated the smartest person they could find to a cabinet-level post and accepted help rather than just lied about the problem.
Don't Look Up is more fitting as a documentary of our times. In lots of ways.
Fucking infuriating movie. Not because it's bad, but because it is so fucking spot on about every single political issue in USA (and to a lesser extend, but still fitting, the rest of the world). I know it's a metaphor for climate change, but every single political issue in USA is dealt with just as moronically as climate change.
Yeah, I mean it was most overtly a commentary on climate change, but to a great extent it really was about the problems with current politics.
I'm right there with you, it was infuriating, and absolutely right, and great, so now what do I do?
