Best line EVER about CPAC!!!

Doug Heye republican stradigest was on reliable sources and said:

"CPAC is now like a star trek convention, as long as captain Kirk shows up and you can sell merchandise outside the venue and money is to be made it will continue"

Money money money and PR.
Clickservatives.
Idiots on Fox and Limbaugh and CNN yelling hot takes they don’t even believe.
Sekulow and Osteen gritting off scaring old people, while buying private jets.
Manafort and the Koches and Mercers seeking money from billionaires or tax cuts for themselves, average citizens be damned.


That’s what the GOP is. Smart people have left the party. Only the billionaires and the grifters are left.

They are a fun gathering of people dedicated to Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combination (IDIC), good fellowship, malice towards none, and it was a place where I truly felt relaxed knowing that I was surrounded by people where not a single one would sneer upon hearing I loved Trek. I met many people that I knew from TrekBBS (this was years ago, most wouldn't remember me any more).

rethugs, on the other hand, are at their convention to figure out how to move us closer to authoritarianism, ways to screw their fellow citizens, and hatred of whatever minority is out of favor (except, of course, not the minority directly facing them - they're one of the good ones).

Beyond conventions, we are nothing alike.

to be utterly xenophobic toward Vulcans.

I don't know, it made sense when I was writing it. Ferengis seem like Russians to me.

I also thought of the Borg. You can relate emotionally with Cardassians but not the Borg. Yet the more I think about it, there really is no relating to the CPAC people. And come on, can't you just see them telling everyone that resistance is futile? Who is Locutus? Certainly not tRump. He's fully assimilated.
