When I first watched Idiocracy decades ago, I thought it was a funny comedy.

As the years came, I started to see it as a prophecy.

And then, here we are, and we finally found out that Idiocracy is now a documentary.

You wish this timeline was Idiocracy. In that universe the president realized he didn't know best, freely admitted it, and recruited the smartest man alive. Even gave him credit for the problems they solved.

That would _never_ happen in this timelime. Imagine Trump thinking "Maybe I dont know anything about the weather, maybe I should ask an expert instead of suggesting nuking a hurricane."

Trump brainstorming about getting light or bleach in the body to kill Covid was a shimmer of him actually acting intelligently. He was just way back on the starting line, whereas most people cover that ground when they're children.
