They voted for this.
Generally I agree with this sentiment, but did either American party campaign for AI data centers and/or technological deregulation in 2024? I suspect Trump may have, but I kind of doubt it. I always thought the Dems were the ones who wanted to push the tech industry. Now I think both of them do (maybe different companies/industries but they both wanna cash those checks).
They voted for billionaire rule. Many even said they want a Republican dictatorship.
