We can with enough money. We already established we can build stuff in orbit and send stuff to orbit. All you need to get to mars is a larger rocket. So assemble it in space and go to mars. It’s the same problem of going to the moon just with more delta v.

We should have gone to mars by now, but all the funds went to child raping fascists and bombs apparently

That’s not a freak accident, that’s death by negligence.
