That's a reasonable summary of the Trump administration in general.

Idiocracy couldn't write more ridiculous satire than the current state the world is actually in.

Will US citizens also get to compete to test their wits?

[–] chaosCruiser@futurology.today 7 points 2 weeks ago

US citizens get to compete too. The winner gets to keep their citizenship, while the rest will be shipped to El Salvador.

Next season: Inmates compete who gets to live another day. Every day, one of them gets eliminated by summary execution.

[–] Geetnerd@lemmy.world 10 points 2 weeks ago

This has to bullshit.

But... it wouldn't surprise me.
