I’d love for our terrible presidents to be like Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho. Putting experts in charge and empowering them? Yes please. Instead our worst president brings the cast of “Ow my balls!” into the highest office.

You wish this timeline was Idiocracy. In that universe the president realized he didn't know best, freely admitted it, and recruited the smartest man alive. Even gave him credit for the problems they solved.
That would _never_ happen in this timelime. Imagine Trump thinking "Maybe I dont know anything about the weather, maybe I should ask an expert instead of suggesting nuking a hurricane."

An article, for those who don't want to watch the submission's video.

Can you imagine studying at an elite institution, getting your dream job at NASA and your boss hands you your assignment: You have to compose an official response to some influencer clown who thinks the moon landings were fake.

As the years came, I started to see it as a prophecy.
And then, here we are, and we finally found out that Idiocracy is now a documentary.
