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

Arbeit Macht Frei, baby.

That's German for "All aboard the Trump Train!"

OK but you missed a golden opportunity to use the word Fahrt.

Only Arbeit is capitalized and its the only noun.

In german the capitalisation of words sometimes changes the meaning of the:

macht (from the verb machen, to do/make) Macht (as a verb means force/power/might)

I saw this double meaning several times, like the title of an art exibition: Geld Macht Kunst ( money, power, art or money makes art)

Yeah, they would arrest more Latinos without due process and have us build the rail as slave labor (contracted out to their corporate buddies, ofc.)

Or just a quick stop in the valley between Dry Mountain and Saline Peak near Death Valley to "drop off some passengers".

And there is no forgiveness either.

It would make getting to DC for protests a whole lot easier.
