Do you think it would ever be feasible in our lifetime for the US to construct a passenger-priority rail network from coast to coast?

No. The problem is not the difficulty, but we don't have the political will (read: collective, public will) to anything except plan for anything except continued dependence on automobiles.

I hate that people that go full retard with commieshit ruin actually useful things by association, like not rendering swathes of flyoverland economic traps waiting for Califags to price out the locals because the lack of public transport puts a big overhead on job availability and thus income and thus business opportunities int he first place.

Absolutely.
But for now just connect nearby large cities. Don’t worry about coast-to-coast.

technically and economically? yes, no problem China has got a comparable big country and a comparable big economy. They build a complete passenger high speed grid in less then two decades.
But politically the US is a mess. Now more then ever. Nothing gets done.
