America didn’t mandate eugenics in the movie and what does this even have to do with Nazies?

> America didn’t mandate eugenics in the movie

Correct! It mandated eugenics in real life, in the early 20th century. I didn't say that the movie shows eugenics happening. I said "the film itself implies that the idiocracy is due to stupid people breeding more, a classic tenet of Nazism and eugenics alike." Work on your reading comprehension.
