Idiocracy?
Not even!!!!! Nobody ever imagined such a horrible scenario
The last, uhh, 24 years keep reminding me of this line by Yeats:
"The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity."
Transmetropolitan nails this.

Neither the Beast nor the Smiler are ignorant, conspiracy theorists, or foreign assets though (grifters and sex criminals, most definitely, I'll give you that, especially the Smiler, but most of the City's population seems to fit in those categories too, so in that sense they do represent their electorate).
They're both quite competent and intelligent psychopaths.

The amount of sexual predators Epstein's closest friend have nominated to position of powers is incredible,
Dr Strangelove
