Pop superstar Katy Perry, who campaigned for Kamala Harris, is getting ridiculed on social media after she urged her followers to watch the movie Idiocracy — an apparent dig at President-elect Donald Trump and his supporters.
Bypassing Letterboxd, Katy Perry posted her thoroughly unoriginal movie recommendation to X late Wednesday.

Since then, she has received an outpouring of ridicule, with some noting that the last four years under Biden-Harris have been a more accurate reflection of the 2006 Mike Judge movie.
“It covered 20202 to 2024 perfectly,” one commenter noted.
“Don’t have to I lived through the Biden administration. By the way you know Mike Judge is conservative right?” another wrote.
“You are a celebrity in the Idiocracy.. see how that works,” another commenter noted.
“We’ve all already seen it and lived it the past 4 years,” another concluded.

Idiocracy has become a cliched movie recommendation among leftists whenever a Republican, conservative, or non-establishment candidate wins an election.
As Breitbart News reported, Katy Perry was one of several pop stars who participated in election-eve swing-state concerts for Kamala Harris, with the goal of encouraging low propensity voters to turn out for the Harris-Walz ticket.
Other stars who performed were Lady Gaga and Jon Bon Jovi.
Not only did the effort fail, with President-elect Donald Trump winning all seven battleground states, the concerts cost the Harris campaign a fortune, pushing the campaign into serious debt after blowing through $1 billion raised from donors.
