These are the same dipshits who think that "asylum seekers" are literally people from insane asylums.

I genuinely didn't realize that was the reason they said they were coming from insane asylums.

Like, I legitimately didn't even consider the possibility because it was just that stupid. I'm simultaneously kicking myself for not figuring it out, but also glad my brain isn't stupid enough to quickly make the same connection they did.

Clearly, if anyone has the resources to march across a desert and navigate the countless hoops of an immigration application, it's someone suffering from debilitating mental illness.

I think Mike Judge is actually a time traveller and came back to warn us with Idiocracy. Now I just need to find out who is building the machine so I can go back and do... stuff.

Idiocracy was a better timeline than this. President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho may have been a bit lacking in the patience department, but he honestly wanted what was best for his people, and he fucking listened to "the smartest man in the world," and did what he was told to do to fix the problems. Then he actually abdicated because he thought Not Sure could run the country better than he could.
