Stacey Abrams? Really?
There’s gotta be a, ‘Set phasers to stupid,’ joke here somewhere.
No, we’re even making it up … we COULDN’T make this sort of insane up if we tried.

Here’s the skinny.
Wait, skinny.
Our bad.
Let’s try that again.
Here’s what’s happening with her on the show.
Yes, that was Stacey Abrams with a cameo on Star Trek Discovery as president of United Earth. A proud Star Trek nerd, Abrams has appeared as a guest on fan shows and has talked extensively about how the show shaped her perspective. #gapol pic.twitter.com/V1HbghDERw

You know the face you make when you see a person driving alone in their car wearing a mask, and they have a mask hanging on the rearview mirror?
Yup, just made that face.
As you can imagine, this went over … not so great. But it was funny.
Well, at least she can win an election in fantasy land. https://t.co/cS5l8s1E6z

So Star Trek supports The Big Lie and destroying democracy by questioning the outcomes of elections?

So the daily in-kind donations to the Abrams campaign from the AJC are joined by in-kind donations from Hollywood. Noted.

… and she’s still going to lose. Again.

I'm sure the decision to use her was exclusively based on her acting capabilities and not Hollywood's desire to influence anything at all.

Totally.
Did she lose that election too, but still pretend she was president of United Earth?

This is exactly why this show fails & why no one is watching. This woman is a racist & a liar & certainly not someone who history will remember kindly.

President of the United Earth she AIN’T.
