Trump, a very stable genius knows high speed rail is a good idea. I am extremely against high speed rail as an antifa leftist.

    Except they always do it in the dumbest ways because they don't want to have to rub elbows with plebeians. They want their own private service, every time.

    If trump managed to build effective high speed rail that goes coast to coast, hits more than just NYC and LA, and is affordable, I think history would probably end up forgiving him for a lot of shit.

    Never gonna happen though.

    I wouldn't trust it for a second. They'd use it to move minorities into camps more efficiently

    I am for high speed rail, but I am 150% against the Trump train.

    I would prefer my 200mph train to stay on the tracks.

    On an unrelated note I, another scary leftist, am so triggered every time I see a Tesla. Right wingers switching to EVs really makes me feel like an owned lib.

    Honestly at this point, we should just all fully get behind this tactic as I think it genuinely has a good shot of accomplishing more than taking politics seriously.

    With America's amazing track record of spending big on repairs and maintenance to infrastructure, I can see absolutely nothing going wrong with this at all.

    Trump supporters haven't figured out we don't just oppose them blindly, it's just almost all terrible ideas.

    Throw a good idea out there like a high speed train, and we have no problem supporting it, because non-Maga are generally well adjusted humans capable of reasoning.

    I just got back from my local Trans Action Committee weekly meeting and interrupted their discussion on their plans to further subvert our children to ask them about this, and they hate the idea!
