The Idiocracification of America | Episode 304 (August 27, 2021)
Channel: The Humanist Report
Date: 2021-08-29

With each passing day America looks more like the 2006 film ‘Idiocracy.’ Millions of Americans are rejecting reality, becoming increasingly conspiratorial, and are vehemently anti-vaccine all while a global pandemic ravages the world. Even as Trump encourages vaccinations—and prominent Republican media figures die from the virus—conservative anti-vaxxers still unmoved, and still anti-vax. Idiocracy wasn’t just a movie; it was a prophetic vision of the America we’d all be living in sooner than anyone could’ve expected.
