It makes me really sad to realize Mike Judge was only wrong about one thing in Idiocracy… that it would take 400 years for us to get there…because here we are, not even 20 years later.

    Agreed. The Idiocracy==eugenics concept seems to be localized entirely to the internet, and seems to be paraded around by those that understand neither literature, nor how human genetics actually work. Evident by how they glaze over the remaining 80% of the opening sequence that’s about the juxtaposition between American idealism, and the reality of what American culture actually promotes and produces.
