Any time someone's complains about something like Star Wars or Star Trek "getting too political" I really wonder about how hard they have to be actively working to ignore the fact that these stories are inherently, unsubtly, political.
I've read shit like that, but...I never came away with "I wish books had less politics and more ray guns"

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Stephen Miller needs to be removed. He is the architect of so many of this administration's worst actions and instincts.
