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

/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

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...
Should not surprise at all. Just look at right wing christians.
He saw TOS as a warning of the future!
