After singer Katy Perry appeared to compare President-elect Donald Trump’s victory to the dystopian satirical “Idiocracy” movie, she got torched with comparisons of the film to President Joe Biden’s presidency.
“Just watch ‘Idiocracy’ the movie that’s all,” the 40-year-old pop star wrote in a post on X that’s since gone viral. While her post doesn’t name Trump or his possible incoming cabinet, followers on social media assumed the comment was an attack on the president-elect’s presidency.
“It reminds me of the last 4 years,” vocal Pennsylvania Trump supporter Scott Presler wrote in response. “I voted for Trump in Pennsylvania.”
Another person added, “Funny how you don’t realize this actually applies to your side of the aisle. Or how about watch ‘Don’t look up.’ Accurately describes the left to a tee.”
A third person wrote, “The fact you’re saying this and don’t get it, in fact think you’re proving a point that you actually aren’t but are reinforcing what those who live in reality know….sorry, let me dumb that down, yes, we’ve watched it, and the past 4 years of Biden and people like you defending him are a stark reminder of it.”

One person shared a past photo of Perry and her husband Orlando Bloom doing a selfie while rocking “Fauci Gang” sweatshirts in honor of former Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease Anthony Fauci, whose guidance during the COVID-19 pandemic and with the COVID vaccine has been widely criticized.

Others mentioned all the celebrity support Vice President Kamala Harris got during her failed presidential run.
“Cardi B’s speech at that Kamala rally really reminded me of that movie,” one person wrote, noting when the rapper’s teleprompter went down and she didn’t speak until someone handed her a phone with the speech on it.
Another person said, “It’s funny because I’ve actually referenced ‘Idiocracy’ so many times when talking about you people electing a senile guy with a cackling word salad VP who then somehow runs for POTUS with a man [Tim Walz] who stuffs tampons in boys’ restrooms lol. You wanna see ‘Idiocracy’? Look in the mirror.”
“Idiocracy” came out in 2006, and the imdb summary of the film reads: “Corporal Joe Bauers, a decidedly average American, is selected for a top-secret hibernation program but is forgotten and left to awaken to a future so incredibly moronic that he’s easily the most intelligent person alive.”
The “Firework” hitmaker was a vocal supporter of Harris. Her Instagram has numerous posts showing her posing for pictures with the VP and others showing her support, even one voting for the VP.
