Filmmakers skewer fascism with satire and tragic heroes. But what happens when audiences miss the point?

Joked about this before, never make the villains too cool.

Idiocracy is so far the closest thing I would say to a problem satirization of reactionaries. Not endorsing the film, just pointing out that it’s a somewhat viable strategy: play into the ego of the viewer that they are simply too smart to just blindly trust Fox News and corporations and that reactionaries are absolute fools.
