No, you really don't speak for everyone else. Many Trump supporters like Sci-fi too.
My town in West Virginia suffered terribly under Bill Clinton. George Bush didn't do anything for us, but nor did he harm us. My area was in the great depression twice as long as the rest of the US. We had steel in the north, coal in the south. That was our economy.
Under Obama, he tried to destroy what was left. Many parts of West Virginia, such as McDowell County, now has the same life expectancy as the worst hit parts of the Soviet Union. People can't even afford functional sewage systems, piped right out into streams. Same substance abuse as in the third world, due to hopelessness. Its rare for me to find a family untouched by the heroine epidemic. In Iraq, we lost a few thousand, that's nothing compared to the genocide experienced here.
Had Hillary won, my state would of absolutely collapsed. We be legally qualified as frontier in terms of population. US Flag would of had 49 flags, likely even less. That's the future we were facing.
And why? What did we do to deserve this? We voted Democrats like a bunch of damn fools for decades, became a reliable blue state from Kennedy on. Deep labor. What did we get in return? NAFTA, mass unemployment, mill after mill closing. Suicides, drug deaths, only escape joining the army or fleeing to another part of the country.
Know what happened once people snapped out of it, stopped voting Democrat? Democratic party started calling us racist suddenly. Reason our economy couldn't compete according to the New York Times was because we didn't take in illegal immigrants. Never occurred to the NYT the reason nobody immigrates here is because there is no jobs, even under the table.
That's just not my state, its a big chunk of the US the Democrats backstabbed hard. I've traveled the country, lived in San Francisco and Hawaii. You know "Starfleet Academy" in the Presidio in San Francisco? Eucyluptus woods, full of homeless. Some liberal drug users, others just economic refugees. How about Captain Jean Luc Picard go into the damn woods at night behind the old Japanese Language School buildings behind Crissy Field and tell the homeless huddled there he us fighting against Trump? They will point out they are from Louisiana or Oklahoma, came looking for work. They don't care for liberal grandstanding or faux politics, save the whales, save the hermaphrodites, save the Jihadis. They just want work. Prefer not having another terrorist attack too.
For many years, people would come look at the giant rotting mill, once the largest and most eco friendly on the planet, and make promises on starting new businesses, and nothing ever happened.
As soon as Trump gets elected, a company openly commits. They are tearing it down, building new buildings. New businesses. We haven't seen this sort of activity in years. I'm hearing of coalmines opening back up. Closed business are being reappraised.
We've gotten absolutely nothing out of the last three presidents prior to Trump, now one is paying attention to us. Every democrat has hurt us bad. Is it because we weren't leftist enough? We were always the most leftist. We went from most polluted city according to time magazine to ckeanest, one of the best places to live. We had the largest employee owned company in the nation. We had near universal health access due to Patch Adams free clinic network, free gyms. We fought in the civil war for the union, within our own state, community by community....
But in the end, we were a bunch of ignorant racist stupid hicks, only worthy of contempt and death.
No more. You remember in DS9 those uprisings in the ghetto of 21st century earth? That's Trump, that's why we voted for him. Were tired of being second class citizens in our own country.
Patrick Stewart is free to fight the president. That hardly qualifies him as a american though. We have a fairly open system, anyone can. If you become a American, it should be for love of our country and our ideals, not just so you can kill my neighbors by putting the tyrants back in power, who systematically destroyed my community, large swaths of my country. Bill Clinton's subprime mortgadges resulted in massive numbers of homeless, many still are.
You gotta think before you do stupid stuff. We have a House of Representatives. Its elected by population, most representative part of our government. It overwhelmingly rejects Democrats for a reason. Too many of us have suffered. Very few people from blue states or overseas travel around the country to see the heartbreak and suffering. We've had enough. No more starting fake racewars just to get a few more democratic votes- people die from those, causes needless racial division. No more attacking American businesses. We need our jobs. Stop encouraging terrorists, stop picking wars with Russia.
Trumps tends to isolationalism and business policies. Trumps children are minorities, Jews. Trump lived in New York, during 9/11- it hit him hard. He wasn't acting in a movie when he looked up in the sky on 9/11 like certain science fiction actors have to pretend, he had real emotions. He had real concerns, most of us do.
Its over. We are not going back to the old ways.
No, a war will NOT be started just because the Democrats need one to save their party.
No, we are NOT going back to mass unemployment, onlyngains in minimum wage part time jobs. I never want to see idiots screaming against the economy has been improving for years while the streets are full of homeless and small towns have several drug users a week die in ER because they gave up because their lives are ruined.
What are you going to fight against Picard? Are you afraid Trump is gonna post military troops inside bathrooms to keep transexuals out? Are you afraid every Mexican who broke in illegally is going to be deported to the point that all the Liberals in San Francisco, Chicago, New York will have to go out and pick their own berries?
Absurd! You listen to too much extremist propaganda.
End result is Wall equals less drugs killing people and destroying lives on US side of border, withering microstate drug cartels on Mexican side no longer destroying Mexico. Its a ethical win win, stabalizes two countries, saves countless lives. We have a Wall, UK has a wall in France, EU in enclaves in Morocco and on the Greek border, among many other places.
The world is well past whatever delusion the old left has been cooking up for decades. I'm about to start ripping lines from Star Trek Insurrection out in support of Trump.
I don't like political parties period. I support John Adams Machiavellianism and distrust of political movements. I've grown to absolutely abhor the Democrats though. Far too much damage, too many lives lost, too many destroyed. I'll be damned if I see them kill any more. Where were you at when Hillary was campaigning to destroy my state? We needed you then.
Your free to become a American, but I hope you do it only because you find something worthwhile in my people, a love of my country, and not seek to enslave us once more to the most destructive and decisive political machine in our countries history, one that destroyed countless lives, one that manipulated and mocked us the entire time, telling us we are the ones to blame, that it wasn't even that bad, that things actually are good. Try doing that with cops constantly raiding methlabs, or layoffs keep coming, or finding yourself sleeping in the rain and cold. What the solution? Give even greater reign to the Democrats? More of the same? What kind of idiots do you take us for? Travel around the US outside your privledged actors bubble you stick to. Most of us are fed up with it.
Your insane if you think even half your fanbase here voted Democrat. Look at the House of Representatives, they are the better representative of our countries outlook. All your sales, movies made here, the big market here- they think your a great actor, but do not begin to agree with what your doing. We are trying to end a terrible, terrible nightmare. That's why Trump is President. We had enough! Shall I write it in Iambic Pentameter so you'll better understand it? We want reprieve, we want our humanity back, we want a future, we want equal status in our own lands, not to be derided and mocked at like some serf. How did America become outcast in our own country? Only through a rotten ideology. I get it, your Hollywood friends hold it, the Queen with her stupid little public waving opposes it. Well, guess what Picard, this is America, we don't do what are self appointed aristocrats want us to do, much less the Queens bidding. Thought people would of figured that out by now. No means NO!
