"Sure, The Borg have been a bit of a problem. Their tendency toward mass assimilation and the stripping of individuality and personal freedom doesn’t exactly jibe with our idea of what makes a great leader. But let’s be honest. Kathryn Janeway hasn’t been perfect."

I just want to see Janeway's plan. She has no plan!

Personally I just like the Borg's plan for the economy. Sure, post-scarcity is nice, but what about post post?

As long as the Borg get rid of "those people", we're good!

A drug addict, a multiple time-crime felon, always transporting illegal aliens across quadrants, etc vs a proven communist leader of billions of equal voices living with basically 0 crime rate or like even anxiety?

Then again, I really don't want any tuvix monstrosities running around our planets, so that is a concern I know Janeway can deliver on.

I have a question: did the Borg already partially own or have something compromising on the the Starfleet Gazette, beforehand? This would explain why...

Suggesting that billionaires need to be coerced to support Trump via threats of retribution -- as opposed to supporting him willingly because sociopaths are inherently inclined towards fascism -- is giving them a lot of credit they don't deserve.

My forgiveness... Not much push needed for fascists to support Cappies

Also, chart is basically base and superstructure...
