Glad I'm not the only conservative with a soft spot for Star Trek.
Apparently, while Discovery and Picard are indeed dog trash, Lower Decks is actually kinda good. Shame about the character designs, but it seems the writing makes up for it.
There's not a conservative worth his salt that doesn't love star trek! They got rid of the money system, and it's a meritocracy in space? What's not to love!
Wait. You thought getting rid of money itself was a GOOD thing?
I get ditching fiat and returning to gold and silver--or latinum, as the case may be. But the very concept of currency? That never sat well with me. I always thought that was Gene Roddenberry not thinking things through, especially when he attempted to make capitalists (the Ferengi) villains in the awful first season of TNG. Humanism ignores human nature.
Thankfully, the Ferengi became so much better in DS9. They were so much fun, and had their share of awesome moments, too.
And before you say what I think you're going to say, I said I had a soft spot for the series. I didn't say I liked everything about it. Roddenberry had lost his mind by TNG thanks largely to all the drugs he'd done, and the show became significantly better once he was removed from power.
My favorite is that they ditched the business suit for work pajamas. Kinda like federal employees today that are still Woking from home because of muh covid.

Wait a minute. Have you ever seen Fetterman and a Ferengi in the same place?
I doubt Fetterman is a capitalist.
But he definitely abides by Rule of Acquisition #111:
"Treat people in your debt like family...exploit them."
Ayyyyy lmao!

All the tranny bullshit and fag kissing.
