    Always worth pointing out:

    People were skeptical of toilet water but after Not Sure et al demonstrated that it was effective, they embraced it.

    We have people who were skeptical of… modern medicine. And when vaccinations were demonstrated to be effective they… shoved horse medicine up their asses and attacked medical workers.

    We are so far past Idiocracy.

      Yeah, at least President Camacho was open to other points of view and was willing to defer to an “expert”, rather than throw a tantrum because someone didn’t immediately compliment and agree with him
