Part of me hates that this is happening.
The rest of me is all, “It’s still 2025!! If we have the Bell Riots now we’re still on-pace for a Star Trek future!!”
we’re still on-pace for a Star Trek future!!”
I hope we survive WW3 and the eugenics war.
I think we're on track for the dark universe ... because we're more likely to do this ...
... rather than this ...
Oh we are getting a Star Trek Future—the mirror universe one.
Not even. We're getting the black mirror Trek timeline.
Shitty Picard season 2 we want to do mirror universe but not.
Don't forget Ireland's reunification.
Riots in N. Ireland right now (though it's anti-immigration riots, so probably won't lead to unification):

The Bell Riots were in September 2024.
Our universe's lack of Eugenics Wars in the 90s was already pretty strong evidence that we're not living in the prime timeline.
Unless we go for the SNW retcon/Temporal Cold War shenanigans, in which case we still have a chance.
I've been telling a friend about this. He doesn't watch Star Trek but when we're looking at what batshit crazy thing happened each week I keep tossing in... "right on track for The Bell Riots".
Just attribute the minor differences to the temporal cold war 👌
Aaahhww, We're in the evil mirror timeline, aren't we?
Not really. Honestly, the "sanctuary cities" were humane compared to what the Trump Administrating is trying to do.
And now he's wanting to put on a massive military parade, something only the Terrans (and other dictatorship/fascist regimes) would do
I bet I could put on an awesome democratic military parade. Give awards to whichever group built the best float around their tank. March the color guard intermingled with the local high school color guard. Have the infantry throw candy to the crowd. Let the marching band rock out.
But I agree that, in general, military parades are not a good look.

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. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 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.
