Shout out.
They're their own subgroup now.

Oklahomans.
Yeah, I can't do it right now.
But I was reading something that this town, they approved a giant AI data center, the city council, and the town got together and marched into city hall and turned in a fully signed petition to have all of them recalled.
everyone on city council and the mayor entirely put up for like a recall vote immediately.
And it was like this surge of like, they do not want this fucking data center.
They're being sold out by their officials, but it's, you need, it needs to be on that kind of scale for people to believe that we can affect change because we can, it just needs to be scaled down to where it's like manageable to take bites.
Yeah, I'm really of two minds about it because I feel also that I had this conversation with a lot of friends after 2016, because it was a very funny experience for me as someone who had lived my whole life up until that point in Missouri, that so many of my friends on the coasts for the first time were being like, we gotta pay attention to the middle of the country.
And I was like, oh, were you guys not paying attention at all?
I was like, oh, I was.
And so that was really interesting to me.
I like learned a lot from that moment.
And then I have this kind of feeling that I'm like something is going to have to give eventually with the fact that like so many people like leftist, like good hearted people who really want a brighter future for all of us.
