Anything outside of university level history studies is always not the worst parts of the past. I was shocked to learn later as an adult about atrocities in my own state when the grade level stuff was mostly boring and decades of events got at best a paragraph mention if at all.
Hell, even now in the age of video tech everywhere and real time connectivity, we only get brief glimpses of things here and there and not the whole picture, and things get overrun by the next story and often forgotten.
They have a real attempt on keeping the people fed, the police is not the ones brutalizing the poor, the government is ashamed of how they treat people...
Start Trek authors absolutely could not predict the Republicans. I don't blame them, but it's incredible how wrong they were.
Ah, so... I'm kind of a general nerd not particularly a Trekkie, but that sounds like something that would've happened in our universe in the star trek timeline, yeah.
Is there cannon history for our universe in the star trek timeline, or only the 'main' one ?
Q and the wormhole aliens both take an interest in the Sisko, but nobody think it's weird humanities greatest turning that sets then on a path to space travel and scarcity free society is caused by a time travel paradox.

Honestly the Bell Riots look tame in comparison to what's already happening.

Babe that's not the star trek timeline we're on.

So we're not heading for world war 3 with drug-fueled soldiers? That's a relief!

Which event is that? They are all massive time travel paradoxes in each season
