They're bringing the movie "Idiocracy" back to theaters because, well because we are essentially living it right now.

Above is the first scene from the 2006 movie "Idiocracy." And that Clevon family, well that is the perfect representation of today's Donald Trump supporters.

Here is more from the AV Club: 

When Idiocracy was released in 2006, it didn’t make much of an impact upon the world. In fact, most people didn’t even know it existed. 20th Century Fox had a contractual obligation to release Mike Judge’s follow-up to Office Space, but they pretty much just tucked it away. After being sat on for more than a year, it initially opened in just seven cities, and with practically zero publicity—not even so much as a trailer. Now, just one decade later, Idiocracy is practically a household term, which is as much a testament to the film’s enduring satirical genius as it is to the country’s terrifying free-fall which includes, among other things, a not-totally-impossible Trump presidency. 

And since it’s hard to shiver in fear while you’re laughing, the Alamo Drafthouse And Art House Convergence Theaters have decided to screen the film for one night only this coming October 4. Alamo explained the decision in a press release: 

"Ten years ago, satirist Mike Judge told of an impossible future in which our collective intelligence had dropped so low it threatened to destroy the world. In this future, America was run by a corrupt, sociopathic former pro-wrestler with severe anger management issues, and the most popular entertainment in the land was a YouTube-esque video playlist called “Ow My Balls.” 

Flash forward to today. We are approaching the end of the most bizarre, absurdist presidential race in U.S. history. Over the past months, thousands have questioned in social media whether Idiocracy was actually a documentary. Mike Judge’s sadly prescient film has transcended its cult classic status to become a vibrant and essential facet of this election conversation."

We are where we are because while the smartest Americans have been thinking things through and carefully planning their lives and the lives of their children, the Clevons of the country have been  running around breeding like rabbits and doing the bare minimum to educate themselves or make any kind of contribution to the planet.

All of course with the full support of the Republican party whose life blood is the uneducated, hyper religious, non-critical thinking voters of America. 

And if you think that this Clevon family seems familiar well you are probably thinking of their real world doppelgangers.

Yeah, scary isn't it?

      My New England family is a perfect example. The Xtians aren't exactly rubes, they're all educated (if homeschooled and some online Christian university) with decent jobs. But one family is responsible for more than 1/2 of the grandchildren produced by 7 families.

    Idk the Palins just want people to be independent and strong and have faith in themselves. She has 3 fully independent kids all homeowners. All work for what they want. All stand by beliefs, you know those things no one can call wrong because they're beliefs. They don't judge. They accept all. Losers call them anti gay when all of them have gay friends. These are facts that people here will attack me for because you live in denial and pretend to know people you don't. Remember though. To call them the things gryphen does is to call everyone Levi knows the same thing. You know that guy who's 26 and has no interest in voting.

      Homeowners? Track lives in the airplane hanger. Willow has never owned a home. Fully independent? None of them works a 40 hour a week job.
      And the voting thing? Bristol never even voted for her mother in 2008. Dreamboat MOH is registered in Kentucky as far as we know. You are delusional, Lou Sarah.

      The Palin family brawl showed the world what trash they are. Bristol Palin showed the world what a foul-mouthed drunk she is- when she's not posing for phony pictures for you to admire- and what a bad mother she is. The police recordings complete with the screaming of her terrified child are still on the internet for all the world to listen to.

      Independent? Strong? Only in your diseased mind, Alicia.

      4:18. You are deranged. You said "All stand by beliefs, you know those things no one can call wrong because they're beliefs." So if I believe the world is flat, I'm not wrong because it's a belief? You just prove Gryphen's entire post about idiocracy and probably fear facts, truth, and any education that requires critical thinking. You replaced all of that with your warped Palin-love belief system.
      The funny thing about this is that you are so idiotic that it's easy to believe you're just messing with us all....but you fit the GOP mold so well right now that it's entirely believable that your mind is truly that messed up.

      Dreamboat MOH is registered in Kentucky as far as we know.

      If Dreamboat is still registered in KY he won't qualify for next year's PFD.

      I always thought that was the reason for the timing of his "change of residence." A week or two later and he wouldn't have had 6 months in Alaska in 2016 to qualify.

      Right? You have to live here 6 months prior to the first of the year that you first apply? I could be wrong. If so, sorry to mislead you all.

      Although, I have to say (as a positive toward the Palins) that they are very careful about not applying if they don't qualify. That's because they KNOW Alaskans will hunt up the list of applicants and turn them in if they try.

      11:14 Just to set the record straight. Bristol did not declare ZERO income, unless you have a link.

      You are referring to a piece of paper filed by Levi's attorney for child support reasons.

      Many people on here at the time said the ZERO income on Bristol's side of the sheet was that way as the paper only was for Levi's and that legal people all knew and understood it to be that way.

      Just trying to clear up inaccuracies based on info we have.

    22. Anonymous3:27 PM

      3:04; you're wrong. Bristol went to court wailing and shrieking that she was owed soooooo much of Levi's paycheck because look, she had NOOOOOO income. Meantime, Mommy's PAC buys her houses and a boat and "Lou Booton" shoes and trips to Hawaii. So which is it? Is she completely dependent on Levi's money to support herself and her multiple illegitimate children, or is she self-supporting? You can't have it both ways.

    I'll have to see it again, I guess. The first time I saw it, it was just a movie, not really all that great, but certainly amusing and chilling in its way.
    I still say that Trump is President Scroob in the movie "Spaceballs", lording over the assholes, hanging out with bimbos and Dark Helmet,and trying to steal the air from our world. This is why I continue to call Trump "Skroob". I think we should make a t-shirt with Mel Brook's Skroob photo on it, with the phrase "If Trump wins, we're all Scroob". Sorry, it's early in the day, and I'm sick of people who proudly wear "I'm Deplorable" t-shirts.

    Oh. Only one theater for one night.

    I thought it was getting a more national release for a longer time so more people could see it. Because it was before it's time and a commentary on the elections, etc.

    Mike Judge should be considering a third in the series called Deplorables or something. Then again, anything he did about the current Republican candidate and his supporters would just look like a documentary and not a satire.

    My mother and I were having a conversation yesterday and she said that she was sick to death of hearing about "baby mamas" and "baby daddies" and whatever happened to the actual "family".

    I personally think that this great random breeding experiment that is happening in America now, with women bearing children from multiple men and men impregnating multiple women, is an utter failure and soon people will realize that for success children need the strength and nurturing found within the family unit and things will begin to trend that way again.

  14. Whether it's politics or love or religion, I'm resigned that one of the unfortunate default behaviors in we humans is that we find it much more comfortable to voluntarily remain fooled than to painfully admit we've been fooled. The same impetus governs the battered spouse able to choose flight but doesn't, the parishioner continuing to financially underwrite an institution that used their funds to cover up the rape of children.

    Thus, what degree of willful, dishonest recall is required in a voter who survived eight years of Cheney & Bush to now pull a lever for Trump?
