The people in that film were dumb because society just gave up on education and basically let AI do everything. But most of them actually meant well. They wanted to help and do the right thing they just didn’t know how.

No such altruism exists in the GOP controlling all the federal government now. They are every bit as stupid but also complete sociopaths and grifters. All of them.
