1. Time for them to hold another one of their shrinking klan rallies

You know the ones with the fat white fuck in the red hat blabbering nonsense and flashing his white power signs with his stubby little fingers

[pidge]

4. I' m very old,what is a white power sign ?

[MagickMuffin]

6. Basically it's the okay hand gesture which the White Supremacists commandeered

It's really a juvenile thing that they think is owning someone or something!

11. I've been told that the WP hand sign is very similar to the ASL word for "asshole" I sh!t you not.

10. i know . and i am a trek fan . and many do feel its only about the battles .

[LT Barclay]

16. There was some idiot under the Bush administration that built a command center to look like the

bridge of a starship and he was a warmongering psychopath.
I don't know how people can watch the show and NOT get the point of it.

5. Fiction

equals facts to them.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

8. Yes, A lot of people can't distinguish between fiction and reality.

Look at all those who think The DaVinci Code was a documentary.

7. More words of wisdom from the National Review

Will Herberg, “‘Civil Rights’ and Violence: Who Are the Guilty Ones?”, The National Review Sept. 7th, 1965, pp. 769-770

It did not come easy for us in this country, under the weight of the vast influx of immigrants and the residual effects of the frontier tradition, to consolidate a secure internal order based on custom and respect for constituted authority; but finally we managed. This internal order is now in jeopardy; and it is in jeopardy because of the doings of such high-minded, self-righteous “children of light” as the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King and his associates in the leadership of the “civil rights” movement. If you are looking for those ultimately responsible for the murder, arson, and looting in Los Angeles, look to them: they are the guilty ones, these apostles of “non-violence.”

For years now, the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King and his associates have been deliberately undermining the foundations of internal order in this country. With their rabble-rousing demagoguery, they have been cracking the “cake of custom” that holds us together. With their doctrine of “civil disobedience,” they have been teaching hundreds of thousands of Negroes — particularly the adolescents and the children — that it is perfectly alright to break the law and defy constituted authority if you are a Negro-with-a-grievance; in protest against injustice. And they have done more than talk. They have on occasion after occasion, in almost every part of the country, called out their mobs on the streets, promoted “school strikes,” sit-ins, lie-ins, in explicit violation of the law and in explicit defiance of the public authority. They have taught anarchy and chaos by word and deed — and, no doubt, with the best of intentions — and they have found apt pupils everywhere, with intentions not of the best. Sow the wind, and reap the whirlwind. But it is not they alone who reap it, but we as well; the entire nation.

It is worth noting that the worst victims of these high-minded rabble-rousers are not so much the hated whites, but the great mass of the Negro people themselves. The great mass of the Negro people cannot be blamed for the lawlessness and violence in Harlem, Chicago, Los Angeles, or elsewhere. All they want to do is what decent people everywhere want to do: make a living, raise a family, bring up their children as good citizens, with better advantages than they themselves ever had. The “civil rights” movement and the consequent lawlessness has well nigh shattered these hopes; not only because of the physical violence and insecurity, but above all because of the corruption and demoralization of the children, who have been lured away from the steady path of decency and self-government to the more exhilarating road of ‘demonstration’ — and rioting. An old friend of mine from Harlem put it to me after the riots last year: “For more than fifteen years we’ve worked our heads off to make something out of these boys. Now look at them–they’re turning into punks and hoodlums roaming the streets.

12. A Surprising Amount of Pushback from Trekkies

I even saw one poster say that "there are no liberals in the future."

Yes. A Trekkie said that. I just posted a meme of Spock saying, "logic dictates that you can die mad about it."

[eShirl]

25. Oh yes, like the people who crow about not watching Discovery because it's "too woke."

Hello? It is Star Trek.

13. They knew the Supreme Court nominee would be unqualified

14. Conservatives never got Star Trek they way they think they own it.

I have not been able to see the (at least) 3 new Trek series but have the previous 6 on VHS (most taped live) and DVD.

[ChazInAz]

20. I'm an old Trekkie.

Watched the Original Series when it was first broadcast.
Also a news junkie, as one would imagine since I'm on DU.
Completely went over my head as to just who that actor was! Really should have done a better job of recognizing her, beyond asking myself "Who is that? She looks vaguely familiar."
I mean, I once spotted an uncredited Bela Lugosi in clown makeup in Lon Chaney's "He Who Gets Slapped"!

18. Funny, the same guy called Hillary Clinton an "election day sore loser"

What did he call Trump in 2020?

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

19. Thank you for what might be the best laugh I have had since I heard the term "Mouth Mullet" by Ryan

Reynolds in the Adam Project. (referring to a goatee)

[krispos42]

21. She has a cameo role in Star Trek: Discovery as...

...President of United Earth.

I just learned this from another site and the OP doesn't give context.

For those of you not sure what's going on and don't want to give attention to The National Review, there ya go.

Fled Cruz is gobsmacked by this as well.

[electric_blue68]

23. Got a great laugh at how twisted up Ted C got about this! 😂

[electric_blue68]

22. Oh, boy. Yeah, really... It was great to see her. Didn't know she's a Trek Fan.

[FreepFryer]

24. Brilliant casting in Star Trek's finest tradition. Cruz's tears are delicious (Nt)
