    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 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.

      This is the only thing that made me crack a smile today. It’s nice to know that some people still have brains.

        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. 🥹

    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 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 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 @[email protected] 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.
