Some Star Trek Actors are Anti-Trump

[seigezunt]

I'll be honest, seeing this thing happen on Twitter has made me happier about being a Trekkie than I have in ages.

All the BS about JJTrek and Discovery, and then there are the fan films, that's been a lot of ugliness to have to incorporate into being a fan. But this? This makes me so proud to be a fan, to think that Trek really is about hoping for a bright future, and to work for what's best in man, diversity, empathy, and reason. And to see that most of the Trek creators agree. And that the vast majority of fans seem to agree, based on the likes and shares and responses.

Trump really is the opposite of everything Star Trek is about. Were he a character, he'd be an obvious villain: a xenophobic, violent know-nothing.

Oh, by the way, isn't it also funny/telling, that Bakula was perfectly fine when @Lance Charger thought he "supported Trump", but once he was told Bakula was against Trump, he didn't count.

And he didn't count because his Trek show lasted "only" four seasons. I do wonder if Shatner would count in @Lance Charger 's mind, considering his Trek show lasted only three seasons.

Something that happens a lot around here.

I just watched those two episodes yesterday. A few folks could stand to sit down, watch them and reflect on what they mean.

He'd be similar to Paxton from ENT. People who fail to notice the parallels aren't watching Terra Prime closely enough.

I have no respect for the actors who aren't anti-trump.

Are they also Anti-Clinton, Anti-Blair? Tony Blair and NATO's favorite Hillary Clinton who made a career out of bombing other nations and followed some Neo-Liberal Globalist agenda? You know the doomsday truther guys ranted about Hillary for years, you know that whole Hillary Clinton and the Kathy Shelton rape case? Maybe Weinstien is the tip of the iceberg?

It is against the rules to post in a thread that hasn't been posted in for a year. I realize this one is right on the cusp, but due to the content, I am going to err on the side of caution, and close anyway.

Also, please dial back the rhetoric.
