So then you voted for Harris. Nothing makes things less stable than an administration from the opposition party taking over.

I’m frankly pretty concerned that people on both sides are ready to reject a democratically elected leader.

I don’t support Harris but I’ll respect the election. At the end of the day we are ruled by democracy.

Nope, sorry. I can respect the process of election while also criticizing the man that got elected. Trump is a naked fascist, and Bannon just said as much - on his daily podcast, he all but said “we lied directly to your fucking faces when we said Trump didn’t have involvement or know anything about Project 2025”, and now we’re going to get every last thing that’s outlined in there. Every arm of government has a GOP majority who either owes their success to Trump or is massively already on his side. The checks and balances got swept away, and there is literally nothing, short of states just saying “no” (take a guess how long that’ll work) for Trump to implement anything he wants.

On top of that, SCOTUS already ruled “certain acts” (unspecified) are totally legal if the President does them, so expect to see that tested as to whether it extends to orders given to military, law enforcement, and executive orders that are explicitly illegal or unconstitutional.

Trump and his allies all but said they’d rip up the Constitution. When a person shows you who they are, believe them the first time.

Create post

/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. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.

~ 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’ and fuck over our artist friends.

Fun will now commence.
