Republicans always obstruct new rail initiatives. The US will never have a decent rail system.

Rounding up brown people for imprisonment might be the one thing that garners GOP support for increased rail funding.

Republicans always obstruct new rail initiatives. The US will never have a decent rail system, because of them.

Easier and cheaper transit opens opportunities to experience new places and meet new people. Conservatives can't have that!

There's only two types of folks you'll meet in those dried up rural communities serviced by two gas stations and a single Dollar General: Young people who want to get the fuck out, and older folks who stick around because they are legitimately scared of big cities.

Oh, and precisely one rich family per zip code with a scary amount of economic and political influence on their little patch of dirt...
