The comedy sci-fi movie followed a hapless Army librarian and a prostitute who agreed to be suspended in frozen animation for 500 years. When they emerge, they discovered that the world is essentially run by cave men named after corporations and products who live in plastic huts. The politics of 2505 depicted in Idiocracy look more like the beginning of a wrestling match than insightful debate and the country is led by a violence loving, foul mouthed, ignoramus of a president.
Screenwriter Etan Cohen tweet out "I never expected #idiocracy to become a documentary."
However, he is not the only person to see the similarities. Terry Crews, best known for his role in Idiocracy as President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho wrote a tweet in character:

"The comedy sci-fi movie followed a hapless Army librarian and a prostitute who agreed to be suspended in frozen animation for 500 years."
Was only 1 year, but the plot in the beginning spells it out that they were "forgotten" and woke 500 years later.
But yes, I have been saying there is far to many similarities ever since I first watched this movie shortly after it was released.
