The compete quote, which was poorly worded comes from the FAQ's which reads:"Trains to Hawaii" is one of Trump's exaggerations. I just love this shit. Some democrat, not even running for office says we should put more money in rails to solve traffic congestion. That turns into a democrat plan to expand rails to replace highways which becomes the democrat plan to replace all cars with trains which becomes trains to Hawaii, around the world and to to moon.Democrats backing the Green New Deal (GND) "are talking about trains to Hawaii," TRUMP said. "They haven't figured out how to get to Europe yet." He begged the Democrats not to abandon the GND because he recognizes that the more its details and costs are discussed, the more absurd it will become. "When the wind stops blowing, that's the end of your energy," he said at one point. "Did the wind stop blowing, I'd like to watch television today, guys?" "We'll go back to boats," he said, drawing huge laughs when he added, "I don't want to talk [the Democrats] out of [the GND], I just want to be the Republican who runs against it."
No, this is just one of the left's attempts at underplaying. She didn't say, "Put more money into rails to solve traffic congestion." If she had, THAT might have warranted treating like a serious adult proposal, rather than the arrogantly peurile crap she actually spewed.
“Build out highspeed rail at a scale where air travel stops becoming necessary”.
Don't even bother trying to "explain" how she meant something other than what she said, and don't waste our time pretending the REAL problem you're pissed about is that we took her words at face value and extrapolated them out to the logical conclusion.
"Totally overhaul transportation by massively expanding electric vehicle manufacturing, build charging stations everywhere, build out highspeed rail at a scale where air travel stops becoming necessary, create affordable public transit available to all, with goal to replace every combustion-engine vehicle". There is no mention of Hawaii. However the context of the statement is eliminating the need for internal combustion engines. The last time I checked, no one is driving car to Hawaii.
Yeah, last time I checked, nobody drives to Hawaii because they take planes. By all means, please explain to me how your oh-so-helpful citing of the "complete quote" in any way changes anything, other than allowing you to fraudulently pretend it does. And then please explain where your quote in any way makes the building and use of high speed rails dependent on CAR travel, rather than the air travel it ACTUALLY links to.
Finally, please explain to me why I'm supposed to judge Occasional Cortex's insanity based on what you and fellow lunatic worshippers "assume" she "really meant by that", rather than by her actual words.
