We’re way beyond Idiocracy now, we left that timeline six years ago.

For all his flaws, Camacho was a good leader - he recognised there was a problem, knew he couldn’t fix it and actively rallied the world around the one person who could.

This bunch of dipshits expressly denigrated the experts, refused to take the slightest precaution to protect themselves and others from a deadly virus and caused hundreds of thousands of deaths.

And that’s not even thinking about the industrial levels of fuckery and bullshit they’ve perpetrated over the last year.
