I watched “Idiocracy”: film portrays the American people, in the year 2505, as idiots w/no regard for intelligence. Some people (today) draw parallels between the film’s main character, Joe Not Sure, and the current occupant of the Oval Office (“d/t”). 1/6

Any such parallels are misconceived: 1) At outset of film, Joe is in the U.S. military. Neither dt, his father, grandfather or his sons has served in the military. 2) Near film’s end Joe marries an ex-hooker; dt’s current wife is NOT an ex-hooker. 2/6

3) Joe’s predecessor in Oval Office is a pandering, incompetent African-American. dt’s predecessor neither pandered nor was incompetent. 4) Joe is deemed the “smartest man in the World” after a standardized test; no test results have determined dt is smart. 3/6
