I haven’t been this frustrated in ages. You know whatever the reference was, he got it completely wrong.

    I’d say Trump was the right age for the demographics when Star Trek TOS aired. He would have been 20.

    It’s just that he would have no interest in a socialist utopia full of diversity and equality, including (mostly, it was the 60s) gender equality and where you talk things out first rather than come in guns blazing.

    He’s against all of that.

    And he probably wouldn’t be able to take it when Kirk got the pretty girl and he didn’t because TV is reality to him.

      There are plenty of “anti-woke” Trekkies these days, so I’d say cognitive dissonance ran rampant back then too.

        That probably shouldn’t seem as weird to me as it does but I swear, 50% of the more vocal population of star trek online are far right folks.

        I mean, people miss the point of fight club too, but that’s only two hours long…
