It's the constant lies the Trump Administration states, trying to make it seem like what they are doing is populism.
In California, they're trying to build a high-speed rail option between Los Angeles and San Francisco, a project a majority of Californians want (54-56%), a project that is moving ahead as federal funding has already been secured. Transportation Secretary Sean "Plane Crash" Duffy and other Republicans held a press conference yesterday where they announced they were halting funding for the high-speed rail project.
I would say this is the Trump Administration looking for a way to hurt California, as there have already been billions spent on the project, but I'm pretty sure any state, even the reddest ones, would also see these projects cut. Trump needs money for billionaire tax breaks, and the Republicans HATE mass transit. This is part of the larger Trump movement to take this country back to the 1890s, when the country NEVER built projects for the betterment of the masses, only for the betterment of the wealthy. It's also why they want to destroy all workers' rights and return America to the age of 'company towns.'
As 'Plane Crash' Duffy and California Republicans had a press conference, LYING, trying to insist only a handful of people in the state want the project, the MAGA idiots were firmly shouted down by a fairly large contingent of pro-train people.
It is hilarious watching these fools come out of their Right Wing MAGA bubble and seeing firsthand how much the public hates them.
