Much easier to do then actually come up with a viable plan and sell it.
It was not old white racist suburbanites that got rid of rail and street cars,it was people that wanted to sell busses.
No different then now,it is wasted energy thinking a company that manufactures cars is going to support anything that gives people any reason not to have a car.
Orlando has been adding and expanding rail for the last 10 years,they did not have to kill off the old white racists or the suburbanites in order to do it,they stopped looking for excuses and found ways to sell it and fund it.
What makes it hard to implement mass transit is when those who are unable to sell ice to an Eskimo get involved,they have a tendency to turn more people into opposing it verses supporting it.
