General Discussion

Specifically, all the "behind closed doors" stuff.

Idiocracy is FULL of technology that the people depicted in the film couldn't have made in a million years - electric cars the police can pull over by remotely disabling their batteries, the Carl's Jr vending machine with a built-in self defense mechanism, the light rail system at Costco, the big-screen TVs, the animated billboard, all the ultra-processed foods people eat, the barcode tattoo machine and the diagnostic machine at the hospital are just the ones I can think of. Oh yeah, and also the vehicles used in Monday Night Rehabilitation. SOMEONE is behind the scenes creating these things. Plus, SOMEONE had to invent Brawndo and make the decision to buy several government agencies so they could act free of controls.

The same thing is happening in our government. A series of right wing think tanks and hostile foreign governments are telling Trump and his GOP minions what to do.
