Idiocracy wasn’t a comedy; it was a prophecy.

Happy birthday to me 🥴

Welcome to Holy Nonsense, where we laugh at religious absurdity! Thank you so much for being here 😊

Let me just start off by saying that I’m a huge fan of comedy, and Idiocracy has always been on my list of movies to watch. I have no idea how I made it to June 14th, 2026 without having ever watched it.

I shouldn’t have to say this, but there will be some spoilers about the movie in this post, so if you don’t want spoilers of a movie that came out 20 years ago, now would be the time to hop off, but, before you do…

Today is my birthday!

If my content has made you laugh or feel seen, a great gift would be to upgrade to a paid subscription, which will help me keep this operation going :)

For those of you who have seen the movie (or haven’t but are still here reading):

The day was Saturday June 14th, 2026: the 80th birthday of our piece of shit president…

A day where half-naked men would fight each other on the fucking White House lawn.

A bday gift from Donnie to himself.

Let me get this straight: Zelensky was scolded for not wearing a suit, but we have fighters walking around barefoot and shirtless in the White House, and that’s cool?

It’s almost like it was never about the suit.

A giant structure was built at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue to host the event.

Donald Trump and Dana White held hands and made out after their fighter-type entrance (okay, maybe I exaggerated a little bit of that).

Joe Rogan wore his very best children’s tie.

Oh, and Bud Light was a major sponsor of the event.

You know, that company that MAGA cancelled a couple of years ago because they hired Dylan Mulvaney?

We all knew they wouldn’t abandon their beloved piss water forever.

The only things I knew about Idiocracy were that it starred Luke Wilson and that people have said that what’s happening in our country was foretold by this Mike Judge film, so I thought “what better day to watch than today?”

I’m not going to give an entire movie recap, but for those who don’t know the premise, Luke Wilson and Maya Rudolph’s characters are chosen for a military experiment where they would hibernate for one year. Instead, they awaken 500 years in the future to discover that the world has gotten incredibly stupid, due to lower-IQ people reproducing at a higher rate than smart people.

In this future, the streets are full of garbage, toilets are built into living room furniture, and doctors and lawyers are dumb.

Everyone is dumb.

Starbucks offers handjobs.

Brawndo, a sports drink company, literally bought the FDA and replaced water.

The people who live in the year 2505 think water is only for toilets.

The President of the United States is a pro wrestler and porn star named Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho, played by Terry Crews.

If I would have watched this movie when it came out 20 years ago, it would have been hilarious.

In 2026, it’s still hilarious, but I also found myself pausing often, so that I could stare deeply into the abyss.

A major similarity of Idiocracy and our reality is that the dumbest people are running our government; a major difference is that, in the movie, it wasn’t done maliciously.

At least President Camacho had a good heart. He wanted what was best for his people. Tangerine Palpatine is on a revenge tour and dead-set on hurting anyone who disagrees with his views.

This was his tweet on Easter.

Evangelical Christians love this man. They love…this man???

I would ask why, but I know why: he allows them to be the worst versions of themselves while also making sure they maintain all the power they’ve ever had.

One of the MMA fighters at this event quoted Bible verses, while another did this:

And guess who loved both of those things? Evangelical Christians.

In Idiocracy, the #1 movie in America is simply titled Ass, and it’s literally just a video of an ass for an hour and a half.

That’s funny, but it also feels like we could literally end up there if things don’t change soon.

Vote, people. We are on the wrong track.
