If we compare USA when the movie was released, 14 years ago, with USA today, then yes it is getting close to real life.

'I'm so tired of people treating Idiocracy as anything more than a dumb comedy. You don't know what you're talking about if you think we're actually heading down that road.'

The premise of the movie was that technology reached a point where people didn't have to know things anymore, so every time someone does the whole "hurr hurr it's a documentary because people are stupid irl" thing it makes me roll my eyes a little

Some people are better off being ignored after making an ignorant talking point. Plus, many of these types will pretend to not have observed the obvious.

There was another premise that smarter people spent more time with their careers and busy life planning that they missed the boat on having kids (that, and added infertility issues). Meanwhile, the dumber people messed around like rabbits and kept reproducing, essentially overrunning the country with dumb people while the smart people wiped themselves out.

That one is a more interesting one to discuss, imo, as I can see that one happening right now.

It was a mishmash of many factors like overpopulation, uber-capitalism, Fox News, uneducation, immigration (like 90% of the nation or something was of Hispanic descent lol) and reality tv that contributed to that future XD.

It's a funny movie, and nothing more. It's preposterous to take the hypotheses it tries to make about the future of society seriously.

Stupid people having tons of kids while smarter have few when trying to plan.

People becoming stupid and depending too much on technology.

Theres ideas that are good throughout taken to some dumb comedy extreme.
