It is fucked up that we even have to discuss if Star Trek is woke. The right wing is so bereft of good creators (there are some, but not very many) that in fiction and pop culture they always have to co-opt things obviously against their own values to sell themselves and seem relevant and "cool".

No I mean the thing is the GOP was a fascist party before Trump; and if you don't math that in, you probably have a hard time understanding why Trump (and crucially, his cult of personality) was able to "transform" the American right into a fascist movement. The truth is, he didn't have to. This was a movement in search of a Hitler, not a Hitler in search of a movement. He is, after all, an actor; albeit one I find unconvincing.

Again, it's not really complicated. If you genuinely believe that if 51% of voting Americans want to fire up the death camps, then we should be fine with doing that, we aren't gonna get along and we aren't on the same side. And you can say I'm being hyperbolic, but we're already at occupying a city, disappearing folks, opening concentration camps, executing people in the street, and going through front doors, so you can kindly shut the fuck up.
