I'm not saying people should assassinate more right wingers. But I am saying they'd have a harder time doing this shit if there was a new one every week...
I think it's potentially instructive here to take a look at the 34th Congress of the United States. The new party that year was an upstart abolitionist party that called itself the Republican Party, you might have heard of it. In that Congress, the (brand-new as of 1854) Republican Party started with 7 and finished with 11 senators in its column, versus 0 and 1 House representatives at the start and end, respectively. Maybe the times are different enough that this isn't the right approach, but the way the Dems have utterly failed to tune into the attitudes of their own voting base puts them in a very bad historical position by my reckoning, so there just might be an opening.
You give a vague, hand-wavy effort to justify the data centers as inevitable, but crypto mining has existed for a decade and a half, and it's AI dudes building these massive data centers, not crypto bros.
Here's a hint for you as to why: crypto mining is a literal zero-sum game (but it is similar to AI in one way: the revenue is nowhere remotely near enough to pay back the capital outlay within the equipment's useful lifetime).
In other words, it's not rational economics driving this shit, it's HYPE. Hype generated by the likes of YOU.
