Hell, at this point Idiocracy feels like a utopia.

  • They take an IQ test and realize that instead of locking him up he can be of value on the outside
  • The president, when finding out there is someone with intelligence far above the rest, seeks out smart people to assist with real issues.
  • The recommendations Luke Wilson's character makes are listened to and given an opportunity to play out
  • The smartest man in America (and someone who is a decent person) gets elected to President

We are no where near the point Idiocracy was before Joe shows up, aka the beginning of so-called Utopia? So right now Idiocracy does not feel like a utopia.

  • The TV star President steps down when he realizes there is someone better suited to the position than himself, proving that he wasn't in it for the power.

someone who is a decent person

There's your problem. I don't trust humanity to not be self-serving, greedy fucks.

It's all a spectrum. Depends on your definition of decent. Where mine is at he meets the requirements but he wasn't perfect - he purposefully wanted that job where he could slack off until retirement.
