The topic of Idiocracy has come up in the news quite often during the era of Trump. There were multiple sources and this was added but removed from the Commentary section. It might need some review and improvement but I don't think it should have been
WP:BRD. It was a bold move to delete it but deleted content doesn't get discussed so I've reverted and I'm asking for discussion. Too many sources and a paragraph of text were deleted without discussion. -- 109.76.195.16 (talk) 22:00, 29 August 2019 (UTC)
Political Bias
The section of Commentary seems to state in a factual manner that Trump's policies mirror ineffective and unintellectual themes of Idiocracy, rather than clarifying that that is what the article in question is making claim to. I believe this needs to be reworded to accurately reflect it is an opinion, not factual, in order to follow Misplaced Pages's guidelines on neutrality. Tradeojax6 (talk) 02:57, 6 September 2019 (UTC)
I'd say it is pretty cautiously worded already "others expressed opinions". I edited the bit about the Salon.com article to make it more neutral since the author of that article was warning the left against making simplistic comparisons that would alienate people, so that should be providing a counterpoint but perhaps it needs to rephrased again to make it clearer. Maybe the article should explain that Trump is in the WWE Hall of Fame (and incidentally Dwayne Johnson is not).
I can understand that because the section includes many left wing opinions it might seem biased but I do think it is accurately presenting those left wing opinions in a fair way.
I made an attempt to remove a bit of bias from the "Legacy" section and renamed it to better fit the content. Feel free to let me know or change it if you disagree, but I think it retains its meaning without being overtly controversial. {CA S U K I T E } 05:10, 30 July 2020 (UTC)
