Just another reminder of how far down the rabbit hole we have fallen.

Idiocracy has been a long-cherished sci-fi satire in cult circles, telling the tale of two people who wake up from a cryogenic sleep to find that the country has become a wasteland of anti-intellectualism. 

Now, ten years later, the co-writer of the cult comedy classic, Etan Cohen, thinks that the movie is satire no longer, marveling that his movie has gone from fiction to non-fiction. On Twitter today, Cohen used his movie to perfectly sum up our current political climate. 

I never expected #idiocracy to become a documentary.

 Speaking with The Hill, he quipped that “I thought the worst thing that would come was everyone wearing Crocs.” Cohen’s jokes come from a place of disenchanted exhaustion. Many voters are sharing in this exhaustion during an election season where a reality show host who gloated recently “I love the poorly educated!” is a frontrunner for President of the United States of America.

I have only watched this movie once because I thought it was a little too stupid, and unbelievable. But now I'm actually afraid to watch and see how accurately it reflects our current reality.

I swear the next person who says "Americans are smart" in my vicinity is going to get punched in the nose.
