/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. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.

Fun will now commence.

What do you actually believe is going to happen to you? Why didn't it happen during his first presidency? Unless you were killed and are talking from beyond the grave? In which case I'm sorry you're dead.

They came in as bumbling idiots and still managed to wreck a few things, thankfully we still had some institutions left to push back on him the first time.

They have a detailed takeover plan and a sympathetic supreme court now. Things are a little bit different.

Some of it did happen, including a million unnecessary COVID deaths. The rest didn’t because Republicans didn’t control all three branches of government. They will in January.

People are really showing America’s ignorance on basic civics. It’s so depressing.

Don't look up the statistics for LGBTQ hate crimes under the Trump presidency then.

The ones who survived last time are not fancying their chances, especially when their friend's corpses are staring back at them.

The last time was truly different. JEB was supposed to win the Republican nomination, leading to a dynasty clash-off between the Bushes and the Clintons... except it didn't happen, when Trump called him a big meanie poopy-pants or whatever, and he cried, looked weak, and basically went limp (tbf, his father was very ill or sth).

So then it was a toss-up between Ted Cruz and Trump, or as the Republican leaders at the time said, a choice between being poisoned vs. shot in the head. They chose the poison.

After that it came down to Hillary vs. Trump in the general election, and due to some helpful little Russian interference, people voted against her. Not for him, mind you, but against her. It was a one-time thing that would never, Ever, EVER happen aga-...

Well shit.

Edit: Tbf, after he won even Trump didn't know what Trump was doing the whole time, besides wandering around eating McDonald's hamburgers. Though now people are READY to make use of him - they know how, and what they want done. THIS IS VERY DIFFERENT.
