the connection between the two might be more subtle than you think. bird flu has already jumped to cows and non infectious virus particles were identified in supermarket pasteurised milk. RFK endorses raw milk and is anti vaxx. Go figure.

Shit.

I know shit's bad right now with all that starvin' bullshit. And the dust storms. And we runnin' out of French Fries and burrito coverings. But I got a solution.

Oh snap it's the man himself! I love you el presidente!

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.

[-] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago

That's how you could tell it was fiction.

Silly Hollywood always insists on a happy ending.

They were moments away from killing him.

[-] ConHoliousDonFrankle@lemmy.world 2 points 21 hours ago

I saw it and the journey to get there. Sad to be on this side of the journey.

[-] HawlSera@lemm.ee 9 points 1 day ago

I keep trying to tell people. We do not live in Idiocracy, Idiocracy is a fucking utopia compared to what our situation is

[-] PresidentCamacho@lemm.ee 6 points 1 day ago

Yeah stupid people wishing they had real solutions is a way better outcome than stupid people cheering for the worst outcomes thinking they are solutions

[-] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Yeah, we don't masturbate nearly as much and the news anchors aren't hot

And they don't make Ow My Balls anymore.

[-] daikiki@lemmy.world 68 points 1 day ago

Remember that time when we elected a literal idiot to be president and a million Americans died because of how fucking stupid he was?

[-] seaQueue@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago

We were averaging one 9/11 every three days during Trump's pandemic. And that's just counting the deaths directly attributed to COVID, with the CDC and a shitload of states playing "don't test, don't tell" plus the delayed deaths due to cardiac injury I'm betting the death numbers were closer to 5x reported.

[-] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Yeah but it's not like we could bomb the virus so what are we gonna do? We're Americans, after all, the only thing we can do is wage war. War on drugs, war on crime, war on poverty, war for independence, war to end slavery, war on Mexico, war on Spain.

[-] CitizenKong@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

That's why this time the plan is to get rid of a health ministery before the next pandemic hits.

[-] seaQueue@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Can't have high pandemic casualties if the pandemic is fake news and you've dismantled the agency responsible for coordinating testing!

[-] HawlSera@lemm.ee 3 points 1 day ago

I still don't know why Kamela didn't just run ads reminding people of all those who aren't here because of Trump's handling of Covid.

[-] cmbabul@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

The democrats have all been Ned Stark in Kings Landing for a decade. Taking the high road doesn’t work against when the goal of the opposition is to slit your throat

[-] HawlSera@lemm.ee 2 points 1 day ago

...Can you explain the character better for those of ous who don't Game any thrones or Sing without fire and ice, thanks.

[-] cmbabul@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Spoilers I guess. Ned was an honorable man summoned to rule at advisor to the king in the capital. He plays the game of politics with honor and get his head cut off for it.

[-] TransplantedSconie@lemm.ee 25 points 1 day ago

Not So Fun fact:

Bird flu has killed 50% of the humans it's infected so far, and that same idiot is going to be back in charge.

And this time, our soon to be Secretary of Health has part of his brain eaten away by a worm.

[-] Ton@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

Only the best people, folks!

[-] KingJalopy@lemm.ee 4 points 1 day ago

If you're speaking for the worm then I agree. I only enjoy the fattiest, juicy meat myself.

[-] Wogi@lemmy.world 26 points 1 day ago

And then we prosecuted him for crimes, convicted him, and then sentenced him to live in government housing for the next 4 years?

Shhh, everything I said is true don't ruin it for me with facts.

Wrong kind of government housing, unfortunately 😓

[-] daikiki@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Be the change you want to see in the world.

[-] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Hey let's do it again! I'll call 10 million of my fellow Democrats and tell them not to bother showing up to vote. It'll be fun!!!

[-] Squorlple@lemmy.world 28 points 1 day ago

The early bird flu gets the brain worm

[-] rayyy@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

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.

[-] TacoSocks@infosec.pub 15 points 1 day ago

RFK will replace vaccines with electrolytes, it's what plants crave.

[-] KingJalopy@lemm.ee 6 points 1 day ago

But...but I'm not a plant... I'm pretty sure anyway.

[-] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

That's exactly what an FBI plant would say!

[-] PresidentCamacho@lemm.ee 2 points 1 day ago

Dont worry skroo!

[-] CheeseNoodle@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Nah the stupidest timeline is simulation 28 where Elon Musk was able to capture the FDA and 30% of the US population was left mentally disabled by malfunctioning brain implants. Compared to those guys you're doing just fine simulation 19.

[-] seaQueue@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Welcome to the kakistocracy

[-] s08nlql9@lemm.ee 15 points 1 day ago

stupidiest timeline

i'm waiting for MTG's nomination and we should be good to go

[-] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

She probably won't get one since she called out Laura Loomer for ~~saying the quiet part out loud~~ being too racist

[-] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

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.

[-] CrayonRosary@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

I voted for them both because they're funny.

[-] HawlSera@lemm.ee 1 points 1 day ago

She's actually been having a "Too little, too late" Heel Face Turn, so probably not

[-] ech@lemm.ee 10 points 1 day ago

Camacho did try to kill him, to be accurate.

[-] protist@mander.xyz 9 points 1 day ago

We fortunately already have vaccines for bird flu

[-] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

Well, as long as we fly out an antivaxxer in change of the only department that can ban existing vaccines, that should be fine.

[-] TotalSonic@lemmy.world 22 points 1 day ago

Good to know. Also a point of info: RFK Jr. is against "big pharma vaccines".

[-] Ton@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Well, as long as you have the money to pay for it yourself, you're golden. This could decimate the Republican voting base forever though.
