To be completely honest here, I've never been one to pile heaps of praise onto The Big Bang Theory. It's a show that is full of casual misogyny and racism, plus tired nerd jokes. But there was exactly one time in its 12 seasons that it did something kind of good. That was in 2016, when creator Chuck Lorre added an anti-Trump message into his vanity card following the credits of a Big Bang Theory episode that said Make America Great Again stickers are "a bumper sticker for victimhood."

Well, just ahead of the midterm elections next week, The Big Bang Theory has done a second good thing!

Lorre added a message into the latest episode of The Big Bang Theory that called Donald Trump—though not by name—a “fascist, hate-filled, fear-mongering, demagogic, truth-shattering, autocratic golf cheater.”

As the full message that aired after the episode "The Imitation Perturbation" reads:

God, (I call you that even though I suspect thou art well beyond names and words and might actually be some sort of ineffable quantum situation), I humbly beseech thee to make thy presence known on November 6th. Demonstrate your omnipotence through us as we make ink marks on little circles in curtained booths. Of course if you, in your divine wisdom, believe a fascist, hate-filled, fear-mongering, demagogic, truth-shattering, autocratic golf cheater is what we need right now, then, you know, thy will be done. But if thou art inclined to more freedom, more love, more compassion, and just more of the good stuff thou hath been promoting in our hearts or our parietal lobes - either one, doesn’t really matter - I submissively ask that thy encourage voter turnout in that general direction. Also God, please help Bob Mueller. Guide him and make him strong, brave, wise and true. And yes, I know there must be thousands of guys named Bob Mueller, so why not help them all, just to be on the safe side. Amen. Oh, almost forgot, remind those who collaborate with the darkness that thou art the light, and the light is not above whipping out a little Old Testament wrath. Amen again.

This is a show that's watched by nearly 18 million people every week, so it's no small gesture that Lorre added in this message following the episode. And it's certainly far more consequential than an episode that featured Sheldon dressing like Doc Brown from Back to the Future III for Halloween.
