@steve_shives The first time I met a conservative Trek fan at a con, I was about 16. He started a bigoted rant, and I just said, "Do you even UNDERSTAND Trek?" He got mad and walked off. Sadly, the family friend who got me into Trek now watches Fox News and is much the same. 😕

@steve_shives The idea that every click, view, like, comment etc, is of equal value to you, even if they come from cun-, sorry CONservatives... 🤣🤣🤣

@steve_shives I get that conservatives watch Star Trek, so does my cat. But neither seem to understand it and focus on the pretty lights and noises.

@steve_shives Here's hoping that one or two of them might actually change ...

@steve_shives I genuinely don't understand it, you've been at minimum an overtly progressive channel for what, a decade?

@steve_shives 🤣

@steve_shives Take your time. It's kind of fun watching the heads explode 🤣🤣🤣🤣

@steve_shives I’m an Independent Fiscal Conservative & a Social Moderate. I’ve enjoyed your channel for years and it does make me smile that the far right “conservatives” don’t get the message. 🖖

@steve_shives One thing I will never truly get is the willful lack of media literacy from conservatives. Almost every piece of media they claim to like has active messaging against their beliefs. Could you not introspect at least a little?

@steve_shives One of my favorite videos of yours. I often wondered about this myself because I got into Star Trek because of my dad, but he is very conservative and I am not (anymore).

@steve_shives I still don't get how people watch Star Trek and don't realise the Ferengi, the Klingons and the Romulans are a satire of the conservatives. The federation of planets is an utopian communist democracy.

@steve_shives what video was this? i'd like to see the context

@steve_shives Conservatives watch your videos and probably think you're speaking conservative ideals yourself, just like Star Trek.

@steve_shives While I think it's weird to care if conservatives watch your content, it's a whole lot weirder that those same conservatives to watch a progressive TV show and a progressive content creator then be surprised that there's a negative position about conservatives from that.

@steve_shives Tal vez no existan esos que se suelen señalar como conservadores , y solo sean en realidad, trekies aguardando una evolución coherente y no tendenciosa.

@steve_shives "You're not welcome here." "That's not making me feel very welcome!" *Rubs bridge of nose.*

@steve_shives You’d think conservatives would respect “right to refuse service” no.. wait.. never mind. My mistake. Silly of me to think they respect anything. 😏

@steve_shives They actually think everything SHOULD be for them, exclusively

@steve_shives

@steve_shives And Star Trek shows tolerance hmmm 🤔
