As I said, rural voters base their opinions on just reflexively being against whatever leftists want, even if they in their hearts agree with it.
They may hate data centers, but if socialists also hate them, then they'll learn to love them.
Several of the primary results prove that data centers joins the list of issues that won’t move voters to the other side on their own (Lawrence also did worse in the more suburban/rural counties) yet progressives once again deluded themselves into thinking that they could win.
