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.

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
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.
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.
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.
I would be amazed if they can actually build the train using only American parts like they claim.
Only 200mph tho? Kinda weaksauce compare to 🖐"CHINA"🤚
Elon and people like him are just western versions of Dahir Insaat getting hyped over concepts that are infeasible, impractical, or just straight up grifts.
Looking at you, hyperloop
I'm all in favor of this, though he'll find some way to fuck it up, if it happens at all and isn't just a way to siphon money out of the government for his buddies
Why does your whole country have like 500 stations? The UK has 5 times that and is a hell of a lot smaller.
puts on red hat Yep just MAGA over here with my high speed rail and free universal healthcare, just as the founding Trumps intended
