    MacFarlane is doing the “Idiocracy” bit where he pretends past presidents have been experts and savants

    No, he really isn't but go off. I for one see it pretty clearly as a complaint that the election can't become a literal popularity contest between literal celebrities who have more soft power and recognition than your average politician.

      the election can’t become a literal popularity contest between literal celebrities

      There is no other way to do a democracy, pretty much by construction.
