Trump, a very stable genius knows high speed rail is a good idea. I am extremely against high speed rail as an antifa leftist.
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.
Let’s declare a war on bad infrastructure! We can funnel all “War on Y” money in. America First! Let’s reduce unemployment with a huge jobs program. Hire everyone to build tracks, trails, and parks.
So, you’re not going to believe this, but…
Okay forget rails, we put big fucking monster-truck tires on the trains and just crash through the countryside.
Just have the people who maintain the roads in michigan build it! What could go wrong!
Deadass im okay with naming it the trump train we can rename it later it would 100% get him to build it
All aboard the MAGA express
Chhoooo chooooo, next stop: Nazitown
Somehow I’m thankful this image is AI generated for once.
I don’t think I’d trust anything with his name on it.
NO!!!
LETS DIG A TUNNEL INSTEAD!!!
So this legitimately happened in Chicago ten years ago, fortunately it went nowhere: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicago_Express_Loop
The most frustrating part is that WE ALREADY HAVE A COMMUTER RAIL FROM DOWNTOWN TO O’HARE, it just only runs three times a day, and only on weekdays.
Musk did this in other places also. The Boring Company (get it? Get it?) is a fraud designed to keep people from moving away from electric cars.
I am ok if this works.
This is just Elon’s Hyperloop again
It’s cybertrucks chained up together !
Not if they call it Trump trains
Its a fucking train, just call it train
Let them build first, we can change name later. Imaging having a high speed railway in US
Imagine just having trains already! Like in Europe, not the American shit
They can call it Trump Train if they want I just want a train that will get me between Chicago and NYC cheaper than a plane but faster than a car.
He’d plaster his stupid face and logo all over it.
Easy enough to ignore.
And eventually paint over.
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.
When you arrive at the train station, the trump train pulls in, and its 2 jackasses pulling a train of red wagons built by telsa.
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!
Trans is just trains without an i
You can’t spell “public transport” without “trans”!

This is exactly how you motivate a toddler.
At least the toddler grows up eventually
Actually I find “Here comes the airplane” to be way more effective.
… is this a 9/11 joke?
One is a passenger train, another is a freight train carrying hazardous materials. The risks are VERY different.
Also, if you’re looking for something to blame for the East Palestine, Ohio, train derailment, look at lax regulations:
Following the derailment, reaction and commentary focused on industry working conditions and safety concerns, including: the lack of modern brake safety regulations,[3] the implementation of precision scheduled railroading (PSR),[4] reduced railway workers per train, and increased train lengths and weight.
I mean, build the infrastructure like every other nation & then you can trust the train.
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
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”.
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)
It’d be Trumps “Hitler build the Autobahn”.
And there is no forgiveness either.
It would make getting to DC for protests a whole lot easier.
Canadian here. No we fucking won’t.
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.
YES! I TOO MINDLESSLY HATE ELECTRIC CARS!
IF PEOPLE START ALL GOING ELECTRIC I WILL BE SO MAD I WILL RENOUNCE KARL MARX AND START EATING MEAT AND RETURN MY HAIR TO NORMAL COLORING
I SURE HOPE THEY DON’T START BUILDING NUCLEAR PLANTS
YES CYBERTRUCKS FOR EVERYONE. ALL MY MONEY TO MUSK!!! TIRE PARTICULATE IN THE AIR AND PAVEMENT OVER EVERY ECOLOGY! CHILD SLAVES MINING THE MATERIALS!!! YES!!!
Yeah fuck it I’ll support the Trump train
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.
The giant, gaping flaw in your idea is that it requires leftists to all rally together and cooperate on a unified plan and actually work together.
At which point might as well elect competent representatives then lol
I’m convinced that the majority of our population do not give a flying fuck about representation or leadership and just participate in democracy when they’re seeking emotional validation.
The problem with this is that the most emotional ones in need of the most validation are the ones who would vote in literal Reincarnated Vampire Turbo Hitler Khan if it triggers the other side.
You’re describing something very deep, while only touching the surface.
On the left, people are not very forgiving of other leftists, when they cross the line. And if you really cross the line, then we just don’t want you on our team anymore, gtfo.
On the right, it’s like no matter what you’ve done, as long as you fight for the same thing as the others, you can still be on the team. This is why you see artists make a shift to the right, just before a big scandal, they know they will still have a fangroup as long as they share rightwing propoganda.
This is great for the right wing in the short term, but eventually the techbros and the christofascists, and the Nazis will all realize that they don’t really have anything in common, except a desire to rule everything. “But not like that, like this!”
It’s gonna be interesting to see the showdown between all the different fascist groups Trump has under his flag.
Yes, fascism cannibalizes itself. This means that, in the end, fascism always collapses, however, that doesn’t prevent it from doing lots of damage in the meantime
200mph? Like those french trains in the nineties?
Yeah, even the german ICEs can do that much. US mediocratism as usual.
Hey now, we were mediocre before but now have crossed well into toxic inferiority.
ICE making America Great Again!!!"
Fun fact: the train pictured here is a Siemens Velaro. That’s the same family of train as the ICE.
It’s the American Pioneer Edition, the variant for the American market, set to operate Brightline West services, but even that one is based on Velaro Novo, a platform designed 100% in Germany.
Edit: Velaro Novo for comparison:
It can do that much for about 20 minutes before it hits a Stau.
200mph is pretty good. That’s 320 kph. IIRC, China’s high speed rail has a max speed of 350kph, often cruising at 300kph.
Surely nothing bad will follow Nazis building trains.
