In Oklahoma, 21-year-old GOP organizer Kennedy Laplante Garza started fighting a nearby data center proposal known as Clydesdale after learning over the summer that it would be built a mile from her family’s farm. “I didn’t even know that much about data centers at that point,” she told me. “But I knew my friends across the state were fighting similar things, whether they were solar panels or wind turbines.” Garza wound up organizing a mass petition campaign against the project that ultimately proved unsuccessful — Clydesdale broke ground this week.

Emphasis mine.

Just… wow. What a fucking imbecile.

Gop is like a clock where only the minute hand is stopped and the hour hand is flapping all over. Sometimes it's kind of correct, but not for the bigger picture.
