Almost Everyone Who's Ever Worked on Star Trek Is Begging You Not to Vote for Trump

October 1, 2016 by Paul Spoerry 4 Comments



Trek Against Trump – Timeline | Facebook

“Never has there been a presidential candidate who stands in such complete opposition to the ideals of the Star Trek universe as Donald Trump. His election would take this country backward, perhaps disastrously.”

But Trek Against Trump isn’t just telling people not to vote for Trump, though. Perhaps surprisingly for a show with ideals as far left as Star Trek’s, the post also takes the time to urge people to be logical about how our two-party system actually works:

"We have heard people say they will vote Green or Libertarian or not at all because the two major candidates are equally flawed. That is both illogical and inaccurate. Either Secretary Clinton or Mr. Trump will occupy the White House. One is an amateur with a contemptuous ignorance of national laws and international realities, while the other has devoted her life to public service, and has deep and valuable experience with the proven ability to work with Congress to pass desperately needed legislation. If, as some say, the government is broken, a protest vote will not fix it."

Most of the Trek-affiliated people you can name has endorsed this letter. A small sampling includes J.J. Abrams, Scott Bakula, Ira Steven Behr, LeVar Burton, John Cho, Peter David, Jonathan Frakes, Bryan Fuller, Walter Koenig, Gates McFadden, Kate Mulgrew, Simon Pegg, Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Andrew Robinson, Brent Spiner, Marina Sirtis, and George Takei. Notably missing from the list are William Shatner and Patrick Stewart.

    I guess Patrick Steward has to deal with Brexit and its consequences. Not that it wouldn't be nice of him to be one of the signatories of the letter.

    hahaha… yeah maybe he's like, "Sorry U.S…. No time. I've gotta deal with the dumb things my country is currently doing."

    +Paul Spoerry a lot of us in the UK are very worried about the likelihood of Trump as president. But yes, we've our own clusterfuck of a mess to deal with first…. Maybe we won't need to though, maybe president Trump will just go "Europe is full of terrorism" and bomb it off the map…..
