In an unapologetically frank open letter, published to a Facebook page called Trek Against Trump, "Star Trek" actors, directors, producers, and crew members expressed their political stance that Donald Trump represents the opposite of everything "Star Trek" stands for and should not be allowed anywhere near the presidency.
"We cannot turn our backs on what is happening in the upcoming election," the letter reads. "Never has there been a presidential candidate who stands in such complete opposition to the ideals of the Star Trek universe as Donald Trump."
The letter was signed by J.J. Abrams (director of the 2009 "Star Trek" reboot), Scott Bakula (the captain from "Star Trek: Enterprise"), Eugene "Rod" Roddenberry (son of "Star Trek" creator Gene Roddenberry), many members of the late Leonard Nimoy's family, and many more.

LOL So is mine. YOUR not you’re. :D
Considering a few are twinks, who cares? Plus Trekkies don’t vote.
Well of course they’d be against Trump... they are all globalists belonging to the Federation, the one universe order.
I know all about the strange world they inhabit. I grew up in Palm Springs “on the Canyon” (meaning my parents had careers that dealt with the celebs -both local and tourist.
Remember the Prime Directive? And since they are from the future, the Temporal Prime Directive applies.
Is there a LIST of these 'ideals' on the Star Trek® website?
Genesis 18:20-21
20. Then the LORD said, "The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is so great and their sin so grievous
21. that I will go down and see if what they have done is as bad as the outcry that has reached me. If not, I will know."
Genesis 19:4-7
4. Before they had gone to bed, all the men from every part of the city of Sodom--both young and old--surrounded the house.
5. They called to Lot, "Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them."
6. Lot went outside to meet them and shut the door behind him
7. and said, "No, my friends. Don't do this wicked thing.
Leviticus niv
18:22 Do not have sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman; that is detestable.
20:13 If a man has sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They are to be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.
Isaiah 3:9 The look on their faces testifies against them; they parade their sin like Sodom; they do not hide it. Woe to them! They have brought disaster upon themselves.
2 Peter 2:13b Their idea of pleasure is to carouse in broad daylight. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their pleasures while they feast with you.
Ezekiel 16:49-50
49. "`Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy.
50. They were haughty and did detestable things before me. Therefore I did away with them as you have seen.
1. But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them--bringing swift destruction on themselves.
2. Many will follow their shameful ways and will bring the way of truth into disrepute.
3. In their greed these teachers will exploit you with stories they have made up. Their condemnation has long been hanging over them, and their destruction has not been sleeping.
4. For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but sent them to hell, putting them into gloomy dungeons to be held for judgment;
5. if he did not spare the ancient world when he brought the flood on its ungodly people, but protected Noah, a preacher of righteousness, and seven others;
6. if he condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah by burning them to ashes, and made them an example of what is going to happen to the ungodly;
7. and if he rescued Lot, a righteous man, who was distressed by the filthy lives of lawless men
8. (for that righteous man, living among them day after day, was tormented in his righteous soul by the lawless deeds he saw and heard)--
9. if this is so, then the Lord knows how to rescue godly men from trials and to hold the unrighteous for the day of judgment, while continuing their punishment.
10. This is especially true of those who follow the corrupt desire of the sinful nature and despise authority. Bold and arrogant, these men are not afraid to slander celestial beings;
11. yet even angels, although they are stronger and more powerful, do not bring slanderous accusations against such beings in the presence of the Lord.
12. But these men blaspheme in matters they do not understand. They are like brute beasts, creatures of instinct, born only to be caught and destroyed, and like beasts they too will perish.
13. They will be paid back with harm for the harm they have done. Their idea of pleasure is to carouse in broad daylight. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their pleasures while they feast with you.
But there IS hope!!!
1 Corinthians 6:9-11
9. Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived:
Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders
10. nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.
11. And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.
If you could NOT change, you would be in most pitiful shape...
These people think they’re that important. Too many trek conventions I think.
And my cat just pooped in her box. Story at 11...
No Warf. “It’s a good day to die”

Were some intimidated to sign it?
How come there are no muslims in Star Trek?
Because it is in the future.
Reminds me of the joke supposedly told at a peace talk once between the Israelis and the Palestinians. Before the israeli minister began, he told the audience he would like to open with a little joke. He said, “once upon a time long ago, Moses was very hot from traveling across the desert. They came to an oasis and Moses decided he would cool off in the water. He removed his clothing, hung it on a tree, and went for a swim. As he came out, he saw his clothing was gone from the tree. Just then, an Israeli boy cried out, “I saw everything! It was the Palestinians! The Palestinians took your clothes!”
At this point in the story, the Palestinian minister stopped the Israeli. “Nonsense! There were no Palestinians at that time!”
The Israeli smiled, and said, “Now that we’ve got that established, let’s begin the talks.”
They need to be careful - last I knew, EBT cards couldn’t be used to get into the movies....
The arrogance of these actors blows my mind. What, in the name of all that’s holy, makes them think their opinion is important? They’re freakin’ ACTORS.
While I disagree with them, they have the same right as everyone else to express their opinions.
Of course, we also have the right to express our disagreement with our entertainment dollars.
Just think of the hard drive space I can save!
They also killed it for me when they made Sulu a homosexual in the latest movie as well.
