No, he isn't literally a Republican

That's what makes me mad, too. That and the genocide.

Villains or heroes isn't the issue. It's the argument that we need a group that doesn't play by the rules that apply to the rest of society that I find problematic.

Shouldn't we strive for a world in which the rules really do apply to all? Can't we hope to conceive of a set of laws standards by which we should all be judged? Isn't the world of Star Trek meant in some way to be aspirational, rather than just a reflection of what we have now?

Your argument sounds convincing, but given an infinite number of monkeys I could refute it

I do appreciate comments like these, which is unfortunate; I would have enjoyed replying to this with "Jark!"

Well, yeah. Trump doesn't seem to care about either

"Why don't voters see that genocide is in our nation's best interest?"

"Why don't voters care more about stock prices than food prices?"

Unlike the orange baboon, he means well. He's just so steeped in neoliberalism that he thinks he knows better than we do what we need.

And while I broadly agree with your point, it is far too easy for law enforcement to tack on additional charges like resisting arrest. And, yes, in most states resisting arrest is also a misdemeanor, but incidents can be raised to felony resisting arrest if they involve assault on an officer. Unfortunately, it is easy for any innocent physical contact with police to be interpreted as assault, if an officer decides to portray it that way. The truth matters, but so does ACAB

Now I really want that book

Surely, not proofreading the title before submitting disappointed him more than whatever you were trying to say
