I’m offended. President Camacho wanted the best for his people, and the protagonist wasn’t a buffoon.

President Camacho went out of his way to get the smartest guy he could and provide whatever resources were necessary to solve the problem. Now that's leadership.

Least competent black president vs. most authoritarian white president and it isn't even a contest

ahem. You mean President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Camacho

Isn't there a Herbert somewhere in there as well?

He may have not been a good president, but he tried and that’s better than what we have today!

Honestly it feels almost dangerous to call the people in the bottom photo idiots. They know exactly what they’re fucking doing and the cruelty and power are the entire fucking point. This is why Idiocracy can’t actually happen, if the entire population’s intelligence suffered that much we would all be dead long before we got to the world of the film. These people are evil tyrants who are systematically and ruthlessly destroying the fabric of our government and country, not hapless buffoons with good intentions.
