why someone would confuse some of the greatest star trek ever written with the adventures of the flying toilet seat is beyond me,

Yeah, the lefty vets I follow were having a giggle about it a few months ago.
But Rudy isnât just selling shirts.

More and more of the bits Star Trek characters considered a) past and b) shit that nearly wiped out human civilization before it could take its place in the stars are happening. In this case, rounding up homeless people and segregating them.
The episode also points out the obsession with carried ID and how itâs a fig leaf for racism. Sisko and Bashir are immediately dumped into a segregation zone for the homeless despite being well dressed (if strangely) and obviously well educated and well cared for. Dax appears to be a beautiful white woman and not only gets rescued and leant money, but is given the opportunity and means to fabricate fake ID.
So yeah, an alien symbiant is given preference over two racialized men based on looks alone (okay, and as a credit to Dax, she does some quick talking).

Yeah, I got the reference; I was just alarmed and confused by the Sisko et al being in the Delta Quadrant.

I was told that I was being hysterical when I said that this administration would bring us extermination camps if we donât stop them. The person who said that now thinks I might be on to something. This is heading in that direction, because there is no way in hell that this is intended to HELP anyone. Itâs about removing so-called-âundesirablesâ from society.

Thereâs another name for this kind of camp. What is that? Oooooh. Right. Those always end well.

At least now we can finally put a finger on the period that Trump & cronies thought was âgreatâ (as in MAGA): the Great Depression.

I mean, I wouldnât be surprised if someone who spent his âcareerâ as a real estate âdeveloperâ would think a depression would be great, not just because it means he can scapegoat whoever he likes, but also because he (and his cronies) can then buy properties for dirt cheap.

And look what it led to: a rise in dictatorship, and a lovely little genocidal power. The difference this time being that Germany was rebuilding from scratch whereas the US already has all the nukes.
You know Donnie goes to sleep at night, dreaming of himself as the fuhrer of the Fourth Reich, blasting the opposition into glass.

Right, itâs not like the man gives a flying fuck about human suffering, or anything. IF you discount that, the whole thing looks a lot less⌠um, depressing.
