Stacey Abrams Guest Stars as President of United Earth on ‘Star Trek: Discovery'
[Breitbart] Hollywood has put its wishful thinking on full display by casting Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams (D) in a cameo role as the president of Earth in the season four finale of Star Trek: Discovery on Paramount+.

Stacey Abrams appears in the episode’s climactic scene as the president of United Earth, the borderless government that rules over the entire planet. In the episode, she declares Earth as part of the interplanetary Federation.

"United Earth is ready right now to rejoin the Federation, and nothing could make me happier than to say those words," Abram’s character said, according to a report from Deadline. "There’s a lot of work to do, are you ready for that?"

For The Globalization Worshipers To Chew On .
It won't be a peaceful transition, because there are too many Type A's in or wanting power.

It will require a massive global war.

Initially, it will be between the Big 5 nations and 3 main religions over a 20+ year duration.

Thus, to create a UNITED EARTH will likely result in about 1.7 to 2.5 Billion deaths, over a 3 to 4 generation duration. Plus a 20 to 25 year rebuilding period, after the main war ends. Then there will be guerillas engaged in warfare and terrorist attacks.

Why?
There are too many Putin's, Hitler's, Stalin's Che's Pol Pot's, Mao Tse-tung's and etc... always willing to step in and sacrifice millions of lives to be #1.

BTW: I quit watching the newer Star Trek stuff after it started weaving in more and more current Far Left and liberal and socialist narratives, disgusted as SciFi plots.
