Idiocracy: Coming Soon to a Nation Near You


           This movie was meant to be a joke and an outstanding comedy. Unfortunately, it is becoming a documentary. The president is complete idiot-(Trump 2016); the population is full of bigots who crave for violence and shelter from selfish twisted corporations- (Trumps’ Chicago Rally and even any of his other rallies, honestly). Keep in mind that Trump is in the lead and most likely the Republican of nominee was given a 97% chance of winning the presidency by a Stony Brook political science professor.
            The movie is really unfolding and becoming reality. Forget Trump, this fear extends beyond him. In the movie the only sane man asked the population what are electrolytes after they continually insisted that electrolytes are what they and plants need most importantly (They went on to replace water with an energy drink full of electrolytes). No one knew what electrolytes were and what they did, but they saw the commercials and they followed the commercial like sheep. Looking back at it, I don’t even know what electrolytes are, but if someone told me that I need them in large quantities, I would think twice of taking them. People today follow fads and health guru commercials instantly. Think about how quickly Kale became a trend, or the organic hipster trend, people are becoming more and more like sheep and replacing their own thoughts with what the media tells them. Idiocracy was a far extreme of that effect, but we are rapidly pushing towards that direction.
