The Borg are the best villain to come out of Star Trek: The Next Generation. Even people that didn't watch the show know the name. The Borg assimilate the uniqueness of others into their collective, in order to achieve their own view of perfection. Resistance is futile, they say.
The Borg have become part of our cultural language, a shorthand for a variety of complex ideas that generally can be summed up in the notion of being assimilated; forced into compliance and conformity through some type of pressure or force. There is no doubt that the Trump campaign is 2016's "The Borg." ....

In this case I want to be assimilated but the Borg keeps repelling me.

Great article. I thought this paragraph really hit at a good point.
"That truth does matter to me. I'm not going to say "Trump is a good choice for President" when I know very well that he isn't. And I'm certainly not going to pretend that he doesn't say the things he says, do the things he does, or believe the things he believes. Not every Trump voter lies for him. But a lot do. And those principled Trump voters who do not lie for him also don't spend their time attacking fellow conservatives who have not converted. They focus on Hillary, not #NeverTrump. Think about that."

That is a good point. A lot of Trump supporters are a lot like Trump himself, in fact.... picking needless fights that suck all of the attention away from the necessary fights.
This is how a Trump presidency would look. Disgusting.

Did someone say "Borg"?
