Star Trek is a mirror, reflecting the world and the contemporary times back at the viewer, usually imploring the viewer to be aware, to change things for the better with empathy. Or it should be. Lately that mirror is, charitably, pretty fogged up and dusty and isn't reflecting much of anything.

Aside from the frothing racism of these people, what is really grim about this is the idea that government are powerless to change culture. If your constituents think these things *they are wrong* and you need to explain why. It's not actually your job as an MP to rubber stamp fascism.
