I half remember something like that happening in Brazil. The right proposes something the left approves, there's no fight, they realize their mistake and start opposing their own idea.

founded 3 years ago
MODERATORS
I'm reminded of the time Mitch McConnell filibustered his own bill because too many Democrats supported it.
I would be happy if they just brought back the light rail that got people around in American cities 100 years ago before the car manufacturers bought up all the rail lines and shut them down. Crossing the country by train would be great but we need to be able to get across town first.
Who Framed Roger Rabbit
It was General Motors. The toons in the movie were a non-political allegory for the black communities that were destroyed in real life.
Surely nothing bad will follow Nazis building trains.
well US could have been already working towards that if Elon did not derail all funds to his ridiculously failed hyperloop
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 would be amazed if they can actually build the train using only American parts like they claim.
Spoiler warning: this is the same kind of grift. They're not going to build anything. The money-addicts just say whatever lets them make line go up.
Deadass im okay with naming it the trump train we can rename it later it would 100% get him to build it

puts on red hat Yep just MAGA over here with my high speed rail and free universal healthcare, just as the founding Trumps intended
Only 200mph tho? Kinda weaksauce compare to 🖐"CHINA"🤚
Don't worry it will be bankrupt in no time like all the other Trump stuff including Casinos.
It's high speed rail. I'm guessing the general attitude in here is that we don't want this to fail.

Musk sabotaging this "centuries old technology" based project in 3...
Actually, Musk would embrace it and claim to invent the whole concept, say that no one has ever done it before, even while just rebranding a Siemens Mireo: https://tech.yahoo.com/transportation/articles/tesla-launches-worlds-first-electric-111535136.html
The only reason Trump wants to do this, is because Elon would get the contract. Just another way to funnel taxpayer money into the hands of the PayPal Mafia.

Finally, a way to get right wingers to support HSR.
Effective mass transit to own the libs?
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.
Canadian here. No we fucking won't.
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!"

Trump, a very stable genius knows high speed rail is a good idea. I am extremely against high speed rail as an antifa leftist.
There are no tracks in the US that are safe for high speed trains
None
Last I knew they were building or upgrading tracks in Texas-kansas for this.
The Northeast Corridor already has high speed service.
