Even MAGA Is Pissed Off About Tech Bros’ Dream of Bulldozing Federal Lands to Create New Cities
In a shocking turn of events, the Freedom City movement, an initiative backed by tech billionaires, has hit a major roadblock in its efforts to privatize millions of acres of federal land. Senator Mike Lee’s bill aimed at achieving this goal was met with widespread opposition from lawmakers and the general public alike.
The proposal would have allowed private investors to purchase and develop federal lands for their own purposes, effectively creating new cities without any traditional bureaucracy or government oversight. The idea has been heavily criticized by environmental groups, outdoor enthusiasts, and even some of Trump’s most ardent supporters – including MAGA influencers.
One such influencer, Cameron Hanes, a pro-Trump YouTuber who focuses on hunting and gun rights, has been vocally opposed to the bill. In a series of videos, he lambasts Lee’s proposal as “BS” and claims that both sides of the aisle are equally opposed to the idea. He urges his followers to “please call [Congress] and make us impossible to ignore.”
Hanes is not alone in his criticism. A recent poll by Colorado College found that a vast majority of Western voters, including Trump supporters, support policies focused on conservation efforts rather than development. This sentiment has been echoed by other lawmakers who have spoken out against the proposal.
The Freedom City movement’s plan faced opposition from both sides of the political spectrum, demonstrating that even some of Trump’s most die-hard fans are not on board with the idea. Despite this setback, the initiative is far from dead. Environmental groups and outdoor enthusiasts will likely continue to push back against any future attempts to privatize federal lands.
