Kinda subtle, but I notice they like to use the word "truth" instead of "facts".

The president in idiocracy is a better president than the current president of american idiocracy.
President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Camacho is an American treasure. Have the respect to say his name!
(/s obv)
Wild that Idiocracy is turning into an aspirational movie
It's only because Don't Look Up has supplanted it for a more accurate picture of how we're going to end up.
Idiocracy is a documentary!
You wish, like the family wealth of the Simpsons, Idiocracy showed a potential future that now seems pretty good.
Welcome to Costco, I love you.
I regret that you you are right. Nothing’s been the same since Harambe.
Bad comparison.
One is an idiot.
The other is also a nazi on top of that.
I like the idiot more than the nazi idiot.
If only it would have stayed true to the timeline of the film and happened in 2505 instead of 2025.
Truth and sanity to American History?
Day by day and almost minute by minute the past was brought up to date. In this way every prediction made by the Party could be shown by documentary evidence to have been correct; nor was any item of news, or any expression of opinion, which conflicted with the needs of the moment, ever allowed to remain on record. All history was a palimpsest, scraped clean and reinscribed exactly as often as was necessary.
Orwell, 1984
I’m offended. President Camacho wanted the best for his people, and the protagonist wasn’t a buffoon.
President Camacho went out of his way to get the smartest guy he could and provide whatever resources were necessary to solve the problem. Now that's leadership.
Least competent black president vs. most authoritarian white president and it isn't even a contest
ahem. You mean President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Camacho
Isn't there a Herbert somewhere in there as well?
Trump did the same. He got Elon Musk. /s
He may have not been a good president, but he tried and that’s better than what we have today!
Honestly it feels almost dangerous to call the people in the bottom photo idiots. They know exactly what they’re fucking doing and the cruelty and power are the entire fucking point. This is why Idiocracy can’t actually happen, if the entire population’s intelligence suffered that much we would all be dead long before we got to the world of the film. These people are evil tyrants who are systematically and ruthlessly destroying the fabric of our government and country, not hapless buffoons with good intentions.
Kid rock wishes. President Camacho actually looks kinda cool. Kid rock looks like a pathetic little piss ant.
camancho, aside from being a moron, actually cared about people, and really wanted things to get better.
And he listened to his experts.
Least realistic part of idiocracy: people trying to improve things.
Not bad, but there’s no sane, rational, caring person in the second pic. Just two assholes.
This is the comment I came here to make! The biggest difference between us and Idiocracy is that they listened and let the smart person take control in the movie. There's no hope of that now.
They were pretty much ready to execute that smart guy because the water didn't immediately grow massive crops. Had the others got distracted just a few minutes longer before broadcasting the growth live it may have been too late.
Don't forget racist.
We are in Idiocracy if it was a psychological horror.
There's no fun Starbucks handjobs or Costco law school, just fascists sucking each other off while destroying the world.
There may not be a Costco law school... But there is a Trump University!...oh, oh wait, nevermind.
anyone care to track down that picture of drumpf with the guy who didn't kill himself?
i thought it was that one but no
I've been saying for years that Mike Judge is the modern Nostradamus. The dude has called everything from dumb teenagers, to American work culture, to misinformed redneck culture, to Trumpism. Now he's tackling big pharma and government sponsored terrorism and ecoterrorism with Common Side Effects. The dude is just on top of it.
Check out “Common side effects” on “HBO” max! Or other means. It’s a new animated series by him and it’s seriously good.
Man this comes across like a bot and a paid advertisement,
Fella above you mentions it and you come in saying where to watch it and recommend it
Suggesting a show that I think they would like and making sure they know where to find it while also saying to pirate if they don’t want to watch it there is advertising? Loooool
Edit: I’m like %90 sure he edited his comment after I replied because I am sure I didn’t see anything about the show when I commented lol
Yeah well edits are always shown on lemmy unlike reddit so you're definitely wrong. also for the record that commenter was absolutely correct you sounded like a corporate bot and I assumed you were one until this reply
I missed the other means, I'm not saying you're advertising just looked it and amused me
You too could experience "HBO" 'MAX'! with a simple monthly payment you could fit in with the crowd and attract all the things you want attracted

Well I'm sold, here's my credit card details but I'll only sign up if you promise to make it hard to unsubscribe if I change my mind and hound me incessantly during my cancellation period
Here's an example of what I want
P.S please let me know if i doxxed myself haha.
Pretty sure cleaned it up enough
Hey now, why don't you calm down with a delicious can of Mtn Dew?
I sold my soul to Pepsi in exchange for beer after work
Pretty sure the "by other means" they mentioned is pirating and they just wanted to share a show they liked by a creator they appreciate which also exists on a specific platform. Or is that not allowed, for people to work and have their work shared.

Oh shit I saw a trailer of that and it looked great, I didn’t know it was Mike Judge. Makes me want to watch it all the more now
For reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h6hlGAzrmMU
Who is the guy to the left of trump?
This post made me smile.
Oh, now they're going directly after American history. No surprise.
Tell me you haven’t watched or really understood Idiocracy without telling me you haven’t watched or really understood Idiocracy.
And ironically the top one is a better president and a smarter advisor
Where the suit?
I keep checking my tap water to see when they will start pumping Mountain Dew
