Doesn’t matter which way they vote, they’re getting attacked. When your populace is split, what are you supposed to do?
Who's sending them death threats for not persuing data centers projects? Elon Musk?
More generally, a politician who upsets their voters this much is a failed politician. Even when the populace is split, you can find things that they agree on and work towards that.
It’s in the article. In fact, that’s what the article is about.
The article gives only one example that I can find, and it reeks of "the opposition is threatening us and so we should ignore them". Their example of the threats against the Marshall City Council members was dropped because the police "did not identify sufficient evidence" that a crime had been committed.
I’m uninterested in debating the merit of the article. I was simply providing you objective information.
