The writer of apocalyptic political satire 'Idiocracy' thinks the movie has 'become a documentary'
20th Century Fox
One of the film's highlights is actor Terry Crews playing President Camacho - a foul-mouthed brute introduced as a former "porn star and five-time ultimate smackdown wrestling champion."
Well, with the 2016 presidential election being filled with strange happenings, topped by Donald Trump's run for the Republican nomination becoming more likely, the screenwriter of "Idiocracy," Etan Cohen, couldn't help but make the connection to his own imaginary future. He sent out this tweet on Wednesday:
I never expected #idiocracy to become a documentary.

When a follower playfully tweeted back to him, "Didn't you kind of, though?" Cohen replied:
@pimlius I thought the worst thing that would come true was everyone wearing Crocs

Cohen isn't the only one from the film making the comparison. Crews embodied his Camacho character last month when he tweeted this:
