    How is this not the Idiocracy timeline? I’d anything it feels like the pace of the “dumbing down” is too fast.

      The president in Idiocracy sought the help of someone smart.

      Y’all need to remember that and realize we are way past this movie.

        He could also form coherent sentences, was in Terry Crews-shape, and didn’t shit himself once. We’re already well into Idiocracy 2: Electric Boogaloo territory.

      Idiocracy would be a vast improvement over our current predicament, no joke.

        Yeah, there weren’t leagues of malevolent rich assholes seeking to make the world worse for their own profits. Just a bunch of idiots who apparently forgot how to think.

      Absolutely, idiocracy was too optimistic. In their version, it took 500 years to get there.

      We’ll be there in a generation, maybe 2. (If we have that many generations.)

    I literally saw a comment about a month ago on Lemmy saying “what’s next, wrestling matches in the white house?” Or something like that.

    Whoever you were, you fucking called it

        My favorite thing is taking pictures of them grappling, then putting a black censor bar over the trunks so it looks like they’re having sex. Turns out it’s really really easy to make it look gay(er).

      At least camacho listened to tiny Head smart guy.

      Yes we are in the timeline where the stupidest most over the top attempt at playing a stupid president would be a better candidate than the current president.

    Probably just a coincidence that Paramount is purchasing UFC exclusive steaming rights in a seven year deal.
