Data centers have a habit of increasing voter turnout, in some cases by over 100%.

The best way to get people to engage with local politics is to piss them off.

Doesn't this only work if you piss them off about something you wanna change like "isn't it stupid how few data centers there are? We all want data centers but these stupid renters with shitty wages are always in our way, we should create build more data centers! We have to throw out the stupid renters and their shitty wages!"
