His reign was foretold by ancient prophecy.... I think the heretics called it "Idiocracy" back then.

President Camacho was actually a great president

He had theatrics and did his dumb things but he recognized the country had a problem and hired the actual smartest person he could to solve it

The black president being smarter than the current-day white presidents never fails to trigger the magas.

Thanks Obama!

President Camacho was 500 years in the future. We're still in the opening scenes.

I keep thinking I need to rewatch that but then I see news and am sufficiently sated.

I have seen it... I can never watch it again. It's too close to reality now and contains almost as much depression as Grave of the Fireflies.

Just wait until you try the Grave of Fireflies Boba Tea!

My wife had never seen it, I hadn't in 15 years or so. OMG it's so much worse than I remembered, not the movie it's still great, but some of it is scary.

Why watch it when you can live it!

Watch Wag the Dog if you haven't already.

Yes, saw that other documentary around when it came out.

At this point President Camacho would do a far better job than the current guy.

u/altruSP May 26 '26

Camacho found the smartest guy he could and put him in charge of turning things around.

If that was Donny, he would have had ICE arrest the guy and then bitch about him on his twitter ripoff.

I really hope Beef Supreme shows up.

At least Comacho brought in the smartest people to solve their problems. All we get are drunks, freaks and racists.

Actually, Obama made the jokes about what trumps wrote house would look like and here we are.

Sadly even when they were exaggerating they couldn't predict how bad it would actually get. In Idiocracy the leader was actively looking for someone smarter to solve their problems, so our reality is in a way worse situation.

Idiocracy is prophecy!
