The statement presents the apex of this dystopic world.
Americans are obsolete.
We are obsolete when our foreign policy makes exacerbates tensions in international relations between countries and a majority of Americans support that.
We are obsolete when our economy has collapsed and Americans cannot take to the streets demanding alternatives or updates to our system.
We are obsolete when the rule of law is obstructed and Americans cannot bring themselves to respond with outrage.
We are obsolete when corporations infect the moral fabric of our society like a deadly virus and Americans cannot resist them and instead choose to constantly attempt to adapt to the virus being spread by the corporations.
We are obsolete when our elections are closed, arbitrary, and rigged and Americans cannot wholly reject it and instead force themselves willfully to be content with simply doing what it takes to keep the worst candidate from taking office.
We are obsolete when Americans construct a reality that they believe government must conform to and lower their expectations for foreign policy, the economy, the rule of law, and elections.
While not all examples of obsoleteness are included in the episode, nothing happens in the episode to suggest our present world is any different from the world the show is taking place in.
