Okay, forget "Pussygate", the next two presidential debates, Russian involvement in Trump's campaign, whatever - none of that matters now. This election is over. The crew of the starship USS Enterprise has officially endorsed Hillary Clinton.
According to an article in the International Business Times, "A group of cast and crew of the "Star Trek" franchise belonging to the different films and series have united for a common cause: Trek Against Trump":
“We cannot turn our backs on what is happening in the upcoming election. Never has there been a presidential candidate who stands in such complete opposition to the ideals of the Star Trek universe as Donald Trump.”
Yes, there will be weeping and grief in Outer Trumpistan tonight; after all of their hard work, yelling racial slurs, screaming at reporters, yanking out neighbor's Hillary signs, their many long nights spent on Twitter, it was all for nothing. When you've lost the Star Trek universe, it hardly matters what happens on Earth.
Spock, Scotty, Bones, and Gene are gone to that Great Starship in the sky, and Kirk, it turns out, is a Canadian citizen, but there can be no doubt where any of them would have stood, if they could. Anyone who has watched even one episode of Star Trek knows that the crew of the Enterprise always made a stand against enemies of equality and tolerance.
Live long, and prosper.
