I’m maybe being unfair to say idiots are having more kids.
It is a growing case where people who score relatively higher in awareness of world events to choose not to have kids at all. Between the environment and, well, gestures broadly that group of people is choosing to not have kids.
Calling people idiots or not, that’s overly broad. I understand that. There are material negative pressures felt by people who value understanding the state of the world, that are not felt by those who don’t.
This is exactly why I explicitly said you should reject the explanation of genetics, even if learned behaviors have a tendency to be passed from primary caregivers to children.

Higher awareness of world events is not a genetic trait
That’s where eugenics falls apart. It oversimplifies genetics and people and leads to genocide.

Yes, we have an anti-birth set of memes going around.
But people sharing your memes doesn’t mean they are smarter.
I don’t subscribe to the doomerism mentality and I think it’s counter productive precisely because of the argument laid out in Idiocracy
I went to great lengths in my previous point to say exactly that. Was that still unclear?
