I got nothin’
So quick thing. Our community has a rule of ‘No bigotry’. Honestly? I think that if you voted for Trump you basically violated that rule. So lemme be clear.
If you voted for Trump, voted for Third Party, or didn’t vote at all and you say as much on this community, I will permanently ban you. Yes, I am including Third Party in that. Jill Stein is an open asset of the Russians. More over, a Third Party candidate was never going to win. Your position of a protest vote did nothing other than fuck over everyone else in the country. You are just as bad as the people who did not vote and worse than the people who voted for Trump. At least they were honest about what they were doing. You deluded yourself into believing that a completely different election was happening and actively enabled fascism.
You do not get to call yourself a Star Trek fan when your actions have shown that you go against absolutely everything that it stands for and represents.
I hope this is a joke…
If not I think you need to step back and think about the implications of what you just wrote. You are straight up telling people who to vote for. That is not exactly democratic nor is it even in line with a lot of Star Trek. Also we are talking about a fictional series so you could basiclly claim anything is not in line with Star Trek.
If this is something you are serious about I can not longer be a part of this community. I think there are a few much smaller communities that I might move to.

Fair, bad wording on my part lol
I think you’re off the hook. For now. Depending on where you live, I’m sure you’ll get your chance to vote against fascists. Seems to be catching.
Sure we will. It looks like that our government (Germany) is falling apart in these very minutes. So I guess we will get our chance to fuck things up very soon as well.
Fuck Cardassia Once Again.
This is the only thing that made me crack a smile today. It’s nice to know that some people still have brains.
This punk fag won’t go down quietly or nicely is all I’m saying. Fed it gets better bullshit my entire life lol.
Brother dead at 29 from heroin ✅.
Father dead at 62 from brain cancer ✅.
Personal Dx of pain and suffering, only cure is death for me at 34. Am 38 now. ✅.
Just tell me where to join team blue for Civil War II.
edit: I don’t use the f word lightly…I was a very bullied boy…I’m trying to empower myself or whatevers. I won’t go back!
You need a rotation on Risa, friend, not war.

I’d probably pull a Lower Decks engineering and make a device to insta-cure stress because vacations are scary.
For what it’s worth I’ve spent last 2 years not working trying to recover from burnout etc everything. 🥹
We sound similar. I wish today didn’t suck. Just want to make sure we aren’t spinning out and being ineffective. We need people to care and help.
Let me know how it goes with your anti-stress device, because I could use it, too.
Here’s to resistance being not-futile. ✌️
I’m just numb at this point. I want to cry, but I can’t.
I’m numb too. I’m having a hard time processing it. I woke up in a completely different country/world.
I find that hard to believe given that Trump isn’t even president yet
I woke up at 2 am and couldn’t help but look. Couldn’t get back to sleep until 4, but it’s all just been ‘how did this happen? How could Americans not see all those signs as bad?’
Because most of us are arrogant, short-sighted, stupid, greedy, and have no empathy.
At this point I know I need to move to a blue as fuck state, or maybe emigrate to somewhere with better enshrined lgbt rights, universal healthcare, and legal weed, like say Mexico.
(I’m kidding but only just barely.)
We are emigrating because we have that option. I wish I could take all of the good people with us. Especially the ones at risk, like the queer people and the brown people.
We are a minority. 🤷♂️
To be a serious Star Trek fan means you see way beyond countries and current politics.
That isn’t something most humans are good at.
It maybe will always feel bad for us to exist in this uncaring universe where the majority seems to care only about what immediately affects them.
To have a kind and open heart maybe just has this cost. I wish I could offer more.
I was talking about that with @ininewcrow@lemmy.ca yesterday. So many Americans see Star Trek episodes where soulless computers run everyone’s life or people are forced into suicide booths for the enjoyment of the elite or the Roman Empire runs the world with an iron fist and they think those all sounds like great ideas.
All I’ve manged to say on the matter is this:
Just walking around with this expression and saying “fuck” but in a terrified but also numb kind of way.
You can have today. I expect you at your post tomorrow.
I know this thread is about a serious topic
On a lighter note, this is peak “smell the fart” acting
It’s okay, everybody gets the day off when the antichrist wins.
It’s perfecto.
