The premise of Idiocracy is actually false; IQs have been rising over time.
If I had a dollar for every time someone pattern matched me or a phrase I wrote, then jumped to conclusions about my ideas of internal emotional state then even insisted I am lying when I tried to disabuse them of the notion -- I'd have a whole lot of dollars. (Hint, if you start sniffing around trying to justify that they're right, I haven't left you sufficient evidence and you're probably also doing that.)
Apolitical people? Mostly just as bad.
