Naw. We'll never get there. The idiots in Idiocracy were aware of their own stupidity, and the second they find someone smarter than everyone else, the people in power immediately step down to let him tackle their most pressing issues.

The idiots IRL think they're geniuses, and when the ones in power run into someone smarter than themselves, they run a smear campaign and/or incite violence against that person.

The future we're falling into is much darker than the one depicted in Idiocracy.

Takes at least two years to convince people Gatorade is better than water for plants.

Nah, we're never gonna get to idiocracy. The movie's premise rides on the idea that intelligence is a heritable trait, or a measurable quantity. It is more the case, I have observed, that people are idiots by necessity. You know, it's uhh, difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it. It's pretty easy to just call everyone stupid, and then move on, but it's much harder to understand specifically why they're stupid.
