Serious question: how do high school civics/history teachers 50 years from now even begin to explain the last ten years of US government in the month or so they're expected to do it? Entire PhD programs are going to be dedicated to it. Whole fields of study even like String Theory.
They don't.

Mine didn't even get up to the 80s, at best we made it to Nam. The way American history classes are run is abysmal, they waste so much time. I swear, we spend all of grade school on the American Revolutionary War and Civil War, only for high school classes to waste time retreading it for the umpteenth time. Once you move past these two periods, there is so little time left to cover other topics, much of which gets spent on Industrialization and the World Wars. If you are lucky, you mainly make it to Vietnam, don't expect anything past that.
 
Senators are way too shielded from the consequences of their own actions, or rather inaction. Having six years between elections means it takes multiple presidencies to attrit the shitheads, and that's assuming you're able to defeat them in the primaries.
House members are basically sacrificial lambs who take the heat for Senators refusing to do their damn jobs.
 
oh yeah I forgot this dumb argument. we can't ever have trains because law enforcement has become permanently impossible.
after being told all my life how evil white flight is and seeing first hand how every single public works project is used to circumvent it, including busses and trains, i would call it a not dumb argument actually
 
in all cases, public transportation advocates, NGOs, and admirers eventually let the mask slip and reveal the reason they want public transportation is to get rid of white people's abilities to get away from niggers. public transport projects will never, ever benefit white families with jobs and will only ever benefit the worst of society. every single American city with robust public transport is also filled with poor brown people that the people in charge let stab white people with impunity. its only use is to ferry criminals from the shitty areas of town to the nice areas of town, stabbing all the way
Are you retarded? Black and brown people own cars too so they can still get into white areas. Even if they can't drive, somebody else can or they get an uber.
 
Nobody wants to take a train from Seattle to Houston, they want to take a train from Seattle to Portland.
I've never heard anyone talk about Sound Transit 3 like it's a good thing. It uses cutting edge train technology from the 1970's, and was the most expensive train every built per foot of track, not including the California trains that were paid for and never built. It went billions over budget and doesn't go to all the places it was promised to go. The construction process of the raised track looks terrible. The neighborhoods the light rail towers over are objectively noisier, uglier, and more accessible by the homeless. The fare enforcement teams are young progressive trannies that don't issue ticket citations to anyone but white people, and coach anyone else how to argue their way around the rules, like a 65 year old black woman saying she's a student under 18. They raised the cost for yearly car tabs where a 2005 Toyota Corolla went from being $50/yr to $300/yr. Voters got pissed and tried to strike back, introducing a voter initiative that would overturn the car tab structure for ST3 and lock it to $30. It passed in a landslide with an overwhelming majority, but the state sued, and a ST3 friendly judge said the voter initiative didn't count and ST3 can still collect all they want.

There's a ton of feel good arguments around rail systems but it just turns into a giant embezzlement project for blue cities and states. You're paying for a mobile homeless camp.
 
Zionist Jeremy Boring who was fired from the daily wire for being too retarded and half zombie kike Dennis Prager don't understand the concept of an American being loyal to only America.

the jew tries to tell you what is or isn't Christian and pretends to not understand "tribalism". Meanwhile the cuck says it's not true that Tucker's only loyalty is to the American people and starts listing other things Carlson is loyal to which includes "America the country" and a bunch of people who are Americans. At least throw out the Israeli projection that he's somehow an agent of Qatar. lol

How to curb antisemitism: Jews in positions of power stop doing retarded shit.
How zionists go with it: Screw Barbara Streisand, let's try to censor and gaslight. It'll work this time.

It's simple, to curb any mass hatred, stop being an ass. Then people will like you more. Or as Morgan Freeman has said. "Stop talking about racism, just see people for what they are." The reason this stops it is simple, if people collectively stop being retarded the stereotypes die down. Because hate it all anyone wants. Stereotypes exist for a reason.

It is dumb because cities are better when they have public transit. Take away NYC's subway and it's still a complete dump just with even worse traffic since you can't take the train to get to where you need to anymore.

I fully belive Trump thought he was pulling some 3d mind games trying to trick Iran into thinking a part of their government is secretly in negotiations with us but honestly the way trump played it is so very funny its hard to take him at face value anymore.
The Iranian military has been rogue for weeks now. They no longer acknowledge the authority of the civilian government. We are negotiating with the civilian government and killing the IRGC down to the last muckity-muck. Personally, I wouldn't want any other outcome.

Yeah, did no one learn a thing from Pete Buttigeig and his talk of racist bridges keeping the negroes from bussing to da beech?
 
Winning so hard you need to crowdfund hitmen.

Cali HSR is an unmitigated disaster of a rail project that shouldn't be used as a frame of reference when talking about intercity rail projects, look at Brightine or the Acela service by Amtrak instead.
I'm personally suspicious of any new infrastructure, but even then I have always agreed that using California HSR as an example is like using California wildfire mitigation policy as an example of ideal fire policy or using California water conservation policy as an example or using California tax code as an example, etc. etc.

Reddit trannies are obsessed with high speed rail so of course they believe in stupid shit like cross country train trips.
So they can make passengers on trains uncomfortable much in the same way they do at airports and retail stores.

Public transportation projects are literally nothing but embezzling schemes. I've never seen them operate in any other way.

Have you just never heard of trains having security? It wouldn't cost the state that much to add a cop or two on each train car and bus so you wouldn't have to worry about the weird homeless dudes. Add in some extra rules about like sleeping on public transit being banned and things of that nature and the problem is mostly solved.

sure, but they won't do that.

Which is why if you still live in a blue city, because there are no blue states only cities, you deserve what you get.
