MODERATORS
The idiots in Idiocracy were aware of their own stupidity, and when they found someone smarter than everyone else, the idiots in power immediately stepped down and put him in charge of solving their most critical problems.
The idiots IRL think they're geniuses, and when the idiots in power find someone smarter than themselves, they run a smear campaign and/or incite violence against that person.
We'd be fucking lucky to get the future depicted by Idiocracy. Where we're headed is much, much darker.
I mean, they did also try to light that guy on fire in a Thunderdome type deal, so give and take.
