Klingons are a cross between the Vikings and the Sons of Anarchy. So they definitely are not Democrats.

Ferengi are the free marketeers. Klingons are the pitchfork populists.

“Racial purity is a big theme.”
I’m really tired of being identified as a racist because I supported Trump.
That is a calumny which doesn’t become true just because it is repeated
over and over.

Im OK with being a Klingon. Mr. Worf was my favorite character on Star Trek TNG and DS9. He was self-reliant, knew exactly who he was, and stood up for himself. <<
The problem is, these "Klingons" on Star Trek Discovery look and act absolutely nothing like traditional Star Trek Klingons. Here's a look at the new "Klingons":

Isn’t it funny how the pussy Democrats object to actual men?

I don't recall the original Star Trek representing particular domestic political parties. Rather they took ideas and notions that people were considering and extended them in a larger than life in an alien setting.
If this new show actually takes pot shots at particular people or political parties then it will be replacing a venerated tradition with a perverse degradation of it, and it will at best find a niche audience of bitter leftists.

The Klingons were modelled after the North Vietnamese according to Roddenberry. He said he liked their “sternness”.
On the other hand, I always thought the Klingons were supposed to be somewhat like the Mongols.

I quit watching Designated Survivor when it spent a couple of episodes lecturing about gun control.
I doubt I will was this new series, if it is going to another Lib issues series. Main characters just don't seem that appealing either.

The Abrams reboot destroyed the franchise for me. I no longer have any interest in it.

IIRC, John Colicos, who played Kor, had a hand in giving the Klingons the Mongol-like look; he wanted an alien Genghis Khan.

Actually the “reformed” Klingons of DS9 era and beyond were far far better people than the federation which had grown fat and corrupt.
Much like liberals of today...
I wonder if that will make it into STD.

I'm hoping that the Star Trek spoof The Oroville is good for a few laughs. It appears to be modeled after "Galaxy Quest" starring Tim Allen, but with Seth MacFarlane as the main character, i'm pretty sure it's going to be a vehicle for more liberal crap.
Seth MacFarlane can't help being vulgar and anti-conservative.

Captain Kirk believed in his mission.
His mission was to spend time with beautiful women on every planet the Enterprise went to.
It was a better premise than the one this new show has.
To: RckyRaCoCo
Like they did in the 60's?

There is only one Star Trek, the original. The Conservative space western original. Everything else is NWO Communist crap!
