I’d submit that part of the reason moderates voted for him - and he won white women outright, which is amazing - is because Liberals like yourself are so obnoxious to everyone but other liberals.

I was irritated when you land on I think Havarl, and see all the flying lobster animals, and someone says “you won’t see that back home”. As though to say - this is Andromeda, things are going to get REALLY alien.

Maritime Augmented Guidance with Integrated Controls for Carrier Approach and Recovery Precision Enabling Technologies, or “MAGIC CARPET” for short. (They must have really wanted to use that acronym.)

Whole new galaxy! Narrative freedom!
