No, and I start to hate Idiocracy-comparisons. Remember the one crucial thing they did in the movie: listen to the one person most able to solve their problem and then make him president, not put some idiot in charge and build a personality cult around him.
The US is most similar to the 2030s-early 2050s US in the Chinese-written White or Black (Chinese variant of Brave New World).
An alien shows up, and an international team sent to investigate kill it by accident.
A bunch of aliens show up a few years later, but they’re content to float in the sky.
After deciphering their language, humanity discovers that the aliens seek asylum on Earth, and they claim that the human race is doomed unless humanity does some immediate course correction.
“Lol, no.”
Meanwhile, a group of religious MAGA Republicans (Trump is presumably dead at this point) form a religion devoted to worshiping the aliens, believing that they’re angels sent by God.
The aliens’ predictions come to pass. The collapsed US is then taken over by the alien supporting religious organization in the late 2060s-2070s.
That’s right. What the US is doing is pretty much just cosplaying Nazi Germany. The Nazis weren’t evil geniuses, they were pretty stupid and disorganised (a hallmark of every fascist regime is everlasting internal rivalry for more influence) and put their idiotic little ideology and personality cult above all else (for example, deportation trains to the death camps had precedence over much needed military logistics, even very late into WW2, also Nazi big wigs regularly engaged in disastrous micromanagement because they could, like when Hitler personally put new fighter aircraft development on hold because he wanted bombers, at a time when regular Allied air raids on Germany were already a reality), inevitably leading to picking a fight with pretty much the entire rest of the world and predictably losing that. The only thing the Nazis were clever (enough) with was propaganda. See any similarities already?
Republican americans are in fact cosplaying the movie idiocracy but with a nazi germany crossover.

Basically the plot of Terra Invicta.
Well, they did put some idiot in charge and build a personality cult around him, but the idiot wasn’t malicious.
That supposed idiot was at the time the smartest living person. Trump is all but that.

i dont want to even think about actually competent and efficient nazis
Nobody wants that. They are by far destructive enough in their incompetent and inefficient state.
They are like somekind of cancer in humanitys collective psyche or something.
