It makes me really sad to realize Mike Judge was only wrong about one thing in Idiocracy… that it would take 400 years for us to get there…because here we are, not even 20 years later.

That’s a very sympathetic reading. I’d suggest watching the opening of the film which very clearly frames the story in terms of “evolution,” “breeding,” “genetics,” and “intelligence.”
True, but it’s only about eugenics if you think that intelligence is a primarily hereditary trait rather than a learned one.
