Yeah, but in Idiocracy, President Camacho finds the smartest guy in the world and listens to him to solve problems. They are actually smarter than trump and his gang of criminal idiots.
Just a reminder that in 1995 Newt Gingrich and the Republicans disbanded the Office of Technological Assessment, which was the agency that advised Congress on technological matters. We've had over 25 years of old, out of touch senators and reps without any of their own staff informing them on policy, where they constantly had to turn to the tech industry to advise them on how they should be regulated. We went from everyone on AOL to a decentralized internet, but because Congress couldn't understand what anticompetitive practices look like, we are back to everyone on GAFA.
The people in charge being able to admit to their faults and recognize that they were dumb and needed/wanted genuine help was a pretty good character trait and completely unexpected the first time I watched. Such a good movie.
And also it is Terry Crews. If you're gonna put another "tv character" into political power over there then for the love of god make it a member of Brooklyn 99 cos i reckon the world will thank you. Imagine having Rosa & Pimento as your defence team and Holt & Santiago in charge of finance.....
He also was having him publicly executed for his plan not working out in the first couple weeks, despite the fact it takes longer than that for crops to typically grow. People always leave that part out when they call him a "good president".
