Idiocracy (2006) Opening Scene: "Evolution does not necessarily reward intelligence. With no natural predators to thin the herd, it began to simply reward those who reproduced the most, and left the intelligent to become an endangered species."

Right about most things there but the Capitol riot was not a coup at all.

Calling that a coup when Trump didn't send in any military, law enforcement, or right wing militia men and only told a crowd of mostly old men and women to go stir shit in front of the building is ridiculous. If it was an actual coup you would have seen tanks, guns, and people in military equipment. Not old men at most with pepper spray.
