We're actually going full Idiocracy, holy shit. That's crazy.
In case people forgot, President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho was a porn superstar and, relevantly, five-time Ultimate Smackdown wrestling champion.
I always see this 'counter argument' but referring to Idiocracy is more about comparing the stupidness than the President.
I'm not making any arguments, I'm pointing out that wrestling specifically was involved in the plot of Idiocracy.
