TNG "The Game": The Brainwashing Takeover

 



Trump was playing a game. I'm not sure he had a good plan for winning. He was very disruptive.  

I have never been political or religious.  I'm still not either but I have been watching the news since the voting. You can't help but get a little political but it is really because I can think of Star Trek episodes that apply to what is going on.

Of course, "The Game/The Brainwashing Takeover" doesn't end this way, it has an ending that is one of the reasons I like Star Trek.  It reminds us that low key leaders are leaders.  You don't have to be all bluster and no facts.  You don't have to call names, like playground Bully name calling.  And, the ridiculously non-Presidential tweets.  Not even any idea about the Constitution or the Bill of Rights.  I don't have any idea what Trump cared about, but I have a theory.  He saw himself as the Trump Dynasty but that his children would continue it, we would be ruled by a fucked up family.  This is part of the reason I watch the news so much, because I don't want to wake up one morning and find out I no longer live in a DEMOCRACY, that would suck ass.


This is the ending I wanted four years ago.  I thought it was a fucking joke that Trump was the republican party.  Leading up to the selection I just didn't believe it could happen.  He is racist, is this not one of the issues we can come together on, not those who are in racist cults.  He gave his supporters a lot of people to hate.  I didn't watch those primaries, at all.  It was only being really scared that Trump would get another term and really put his plan into action.  I constantly watched the news during the election month.

It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose

Image
  Star Trek The Next Generation s2ep21 In the aftermath of Hillary Clinton's loss to Donald Trump, everyone was talking about all of the mistakes she made. After Hillary Clinton lost the election to Trump her fellow democrats were talking about all the mistakes Hillary Clinton made during her campaign, like having no economic plan, were blatantly false.  She got a raw deal and what she should have heard from her fellow Democrats should have been that "It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose."

CONSPIRACY: TRUMP IS THE HOSTILE LIFEFORM

Image
  TNG S1EP25 "CONSPIRACY" I think this compilation is plenty much self explanatory.  But in case it is not: 1. Trump is the hostile lifeform that infects has infected the Republican Party and his many worshipers, i.e. the hostile lifeform that infects Starfleet at the highest levels so they make decisions that will only hurt them and help the hostile lifeform to survive. 2. The Republican Party has been infected.  And the hostile lifeform has manifested itself in the many acolytes Trump has in the Republican Party, but the so many in the Republican Congress have forgotten that they are civil servants, and their purpose is not to achieve POWER but as a PUBLIC SERVANT THAT SHOULD REPRESENT THEIR CONSTITUENCY.  And that constituency is not the 1% and rich corporations who they love to give tax breaks to or is it to destroy America's DEMOCRACY.  That is exactly what Trump wants to do, which should have been obvious in the events leading up to the 2016 election, but ...

DS9 Babel : Pandemic on a space station

Image
  I think this one is pretty obvious, except, they create a cure not a vaccine.  And there were comedic moments, which would seriously help in real life.     I was also wondering why they didn't wear masks once they knew it was an airborne disease.    We are living in HISTORIC TIMES.   Eventually this shit will be in American History text books or at least pdf files, or whatever they have. I mean, it takes several Star Trek episodes to touch on each issue.  For some reason this situation was reminding me of The Faint's album Danse Macabre, Pandemic on the Dance Floor.  I just looked up the meaning/translation of danse macabre: dance of death.  The history of the term does not apply to this situation but the meaning of certain phrases do evolve with the times, so it may very well come to apply to our current situation.
