It’s so much worse than idiocracy. In the movie the idiots weren’t also malevolent.

Yeah, we're living in a nightmare version of Idiocracy, where the idiots are also deranged Nazi psychopaths.

When the media became full blown cult members sounding giddy over a convicted felon and half-dead Putin puppet, it became clear that we all need to stand together to end this stain on our country’s history. We’ve gotta “ vote in numbers too big to rig and too real to steal” ~ Glenn Kirschner.

I loved learning about Marshall Curry’s documentary “A Night at the Garden”

First it was diapers, now the lemmings have embraced the Ear Square fashion trend.

And the courtroom scene in Idiocracy. It's not far off, my friends.

All those cult freaks with the swastika flags and the Hitler salute are just goose stepping towards their own possible doom. Either the Dems win and we’ll have luckily bypassed the worst president ever, but if Trump does, they’ll be included in the shitty policies he’ll get enacted. How they think they won’t be affected is ridiculously naïve at best and grossly ignorant at the worst.

Could you possibly create a follow up post to this one, selecting a few of the most incisive video moments so people can share them on Instagram and elsewhere and get the word out to a wider audience? For example the last few minutes of the Daily Show video you have here starting with Orange saying “I have bought your vote” followed by the clips from the people who worked with him. What a powerful indictment.
