This happens because transit shill /n/edditors say so many things that are both stupid, ignorant, and inherently political. You retards bring it on yourself by
(a) crying about government spending on road infrastructure
(b) crying about government not spending enough on passenger rail
(c) crying about low density zoning
(d) crying about the auto industry
(e) crying about capitalism
(f) crying when called out on claims like >>2050385

Red diaper baby Pete Buttgig spent half the DoT's budget on DEI programs. For those who think DEI is just "code for anti-white," that's not the whole story. DEI is a viral strategy adopted from the Chinese cultural revolution, designed to increase the power of the political party. You divide people into Red categories and Black categories. You discriminate against the black categories and the only voluntary Red category is Commie Activist. Even if some of those DEI programs were just normal DoT programs with DEI branding (eg a Black-focused bus program is still a bus program), guarantee a lot of that money just went to useless government sinecures for party loyalists.

Passenger rail is relentlessly pushed as a Socialist issue, framed as something essential the government MUST provide to its people. And then you cry about it, when the actual politics of this are actually debated?
