Folks who watched Star Trek and didn't understand this missed a good chunk of Star Trek. I'd argue most of it.
Star Trek addressed our present a few times. It's essentially portrayed as a dark age.
Our Modern times in star trek are more like the Roman empire, slowly crumbling and about to collapse, which then leads to the actual dark age (I.e., WW3, eugenics wars)
I'd vote for a politician who ran on a star trek platform.
Have we had any known Trekkies in office before?
I also wonder this but would like to also add a caveat; has any world leader or politician been a trekkie?
Close on the values of trek (humanism) would certainly be the Irish president for me (Michael D. Higgins). Unfortunately though the Irish president doesn't hold much legal power
Mmmmmmnaaaahh. Let's build apocalypse bunkers and burn this planet to the ground while civilization descends into hunger games.

Elon Musk naming shit after Culture ships while being Joiler Veppers.
That shit pisses me off cause I named my home machines after them and now I can't do it cause I expect people to ask if I'm copying him ffs
How many people are actually seeing the names of your home machines?
And also we need a nuclear war in order to achieve global communism in the aftermath and dolphins should be integrated into human society.
(Just poking fun at Roddenberry's connection to Posadism)
Okay but let's not do the part where a military tribunal has the power to decide if a being sentient enough to hold senior officer rank is also property that can be disassembled for science.
That's a good take and that's also why I reject "sure the Torment Nexus is tormenting people in a nexus right now but in a fantastically different society it might actually be a pleasant and nice thing" takes on contemporary horrors such as cryptocurrency, microplastics, and data mining software.
rotating saucer artificial gravity is a cute idea
this would be a cool spin-off/fanfic for The Expanse universe though
