We are in a fucking idiocracy. This is exactly the type of stuff that was in that movie.
In Rome, and other empires, when an Emperor was this egregiously bad, they would not only forcibly depose him, but also tear down all of his statues, works, scratch out his name from documents and dedications, and consign his memory to the garbage bin of history.
For all of their faults, they appeared to have far more courage than our current populations.

This.
We’re going to go down in history as pathetic. That’ll be our legacy through time.
I’m never one to condone the death of people very much, but I wish nothing more than for Trump to die on camera like when Charlie Kirk got shot. I want the world to be able to watch, rewind, and watch again. I don’t need him to die slowly in hospital, I want there to be absolutely zero chance the right could pretend 8.5 billion people didn’t watch him bleed out on a sidewalk.

We’ve more than earned it.
Who did this?
Fuck the nationalist “we”.
Wonder how my parents will defend this very anti-doge behavior
Stupid? Yeah, sure. Plenty of better things to spend money and time on. Still rad AF? Yep.
When’s he going to have the whole building painted gold? I mean, The Gold House would be much classier than The White House.
Just wait until he cheats the 2026 elections, and suddenly his party controls 2/3rds of everything, including the power to do just that.
I hope he never sees this comment.
No panem but circensis that you have to buy tickets for.
Some countries have universal healthcare paid by their tax dollars instead of roller rink cheeto’s circus.
Some countries have no homeless because their tax dollars help the citizenry instead of lining the orange criminal’s pockets.
Some countries feed their children so that no child goes hungry in the midst of plenty.
Some countries don’t have a fucking fascist shitbag lying and stealing and grabbing anything not nailed down.
To be fair, even before the orange shitbag, America didn’t address those things and instead funneled money into a few different shitbag’s & criminal’s pockets.
If anything orange shitbag is a good rep for what the U.S. be like for decades if not centuries.
Orange shitbag is a symptom of systemic ineptitude of America. But even if he’s just a symptom he’s like massive rectal bleeding or gangrene is a symptom of something more serious rather than a runny nose.
Stuff being nailed down doesn’t seem to stop him now, does it?
Doesn’t even slow him down.
The guys who created Idiocracy should create a documentary style “prequel” showing how Trump leads us down the path to Idiocracy.
Trump lead us here? You should check out the history of USA sometime. Concocted by literal enslavers.
I’m suggesting the plot for a fictional movie making fun of the current administration…
“I mean, in a way Idiocracy kind of looks optimistic right now,” Mike Judge tells The Daily Beast by phone from his Los Angeles office.

At least the president in that movie gave a shit about his people.
Someone else mentioned that he also hired the most qualified person and provided the resources to solve an existential problem.
Yup. He was stupid, but knew when to listen to others. He cared about the country even though he fucked up along the way, and openly chose to listen to people he at least assumed were smarter and knew more than him.
President Camacho might have been an idiot, but he knew how to allocate ideas, and knew what he didn’t know when smarter people came around.
This government is banning vaccines and tells you not to look up.
Yes, we live in a world where dystopian stories from just a few decades ago are looking good.
OMFG this is real?! I thought the pictures were satire! Satire!!
…the fabric image of an unsullied white house façade hung as a cheap backdrop to the proceedings really is the pièce de résistance…
The picture of the white house in front of the white house somehow gives me a powerful message: everything in this place is fake.
As a hick, please don’t call this Redneck it’s below even our standards on average and also tends to at least be cheap. Call it classless white trash profligacy.
I’ll take that :)
He is merely aspiring to redneckdom.
He is fundamentally incapable of understanding any breed of redneck culture, with maybe the sole exception of the ones who go yuppie and develop a complete lack of taste. But who am I kidding few if any of my kin have even the mildest respect for themselves.
The White House is a 1950s fake anyway
We didn’t need a sequel to idiocracy.
This is more of a prequel.
True.
Seriously let’s let Terry Crews wrestle Trump for the presidency.
Our last pro wrestler president did an okay job, as far as presidents go. Lets have another.
For those who don’t get the reference. He’s referring to Lincoln, he also has a patent to his name.
Anyone who’s gender you don’t know is a man. This is known.
Weirdly enough I usually use gender neutral terms but I’m playing Rogue Trader and it’s fucked up my writing style somewhat.
Well I’m a town, so maybe don’t be a bigot.
Hold on now, this is the prequel!
Exactly what I was thinking about. President Camacho approves.
Camacho understood there was a problem, he found the most competent person to solve that problem, promoted him and gave him the resources to solve the problem, and managed to solve that existantial problem this way. Sounds nothing like what the Trump administration would ever do.
Camacho also wasn’t a fucking pedophile.
I would far rather have a president camacho. But to be fair they only got him after centuries of decline
Is that a picture of the white house on scaffolding?
yes, as to hide the actual WH itself.
No, there’s a scaffold in front of the WH to support the asinine UFC fights tonight (and the stands for those). It’s a temporary structure, theoretically (though of course, Dear Leader has floated the idea “as a joke” of just keeping it in place permanently “for other events”.)
for other events
i can think of one or two…
Putting all the billionaires in a cage fight allowing the last one standing to survive?
The survivor doesn’t keep their wealth
a hunger games for billionaires. or at least a safari. we all know billionaires only tolerate each other, they would probably try to turn on each other if they dint have single goal.
It is however a picture of the WH on the scaffolding
Sigh… yes. I don’t even know what’s happening anymore.
It’s a picture of the White House on meth and stupidity.
Fuck yeah!
At the risk of sounding like Theodor Adorno, I’ve been saying that a classless society is uncomfortably close to a society without class.
Anyway, did they at least put a shark in that pool they’re jumping over? Pulling a Fonz?
Retarded is a word we cannot use anymore according to reddit and lemmy admins. I don’t understand why because I always used it to mean this sort of thing and not to refer to anyone’s particular mental or genetic issues. But you can call this stupid. It just doesn’t feel the same.
I think v should call this presidential.
It’s fine in this instance. These people are severely, mentally retarded
How would you feel about calling such things “Republican” or “Trumpy”?
But that’s accurate and doesn’t attack marginalized groups!!! Doesn’t have the same punchiness for this person and that’s what’s actually important here. \s
Trumpublican
Maybe it is time to transition the meaning to a new word! Good idea. It hits like fresh santorum. I already call old people presidential… “People of a certain presidential age”
SouthPark made some lead way with changing the “F aye Gee” word to mean inconsiderate insecure people who drive loud motorcycles around. I think it stuck a bit for a while.
I still hear people making that joke sometimes.
It’s the only time you can call someone a fg. And that’s fine. We really did need a word for them and why not repurpose an outdated one. ?
Maybe SouthPark could help with “retard”.
South Park’s brand of enlightened centrism has played a not insignificant role in encouraging people not to vote. Even that goddamn giant douche and turd sandwich episode uncritically promotes a false equivalency where an admittedly not very useful container of water is the same as actual shit on a sandwich going in your mouth.
That episode is like 20 years old tho.
“chromosomal” is what I’m try to make happen.
That’s worse in it’s specificty.
Yeah, that’s a problem with supporting hate speech.
