There is no Single One Cause of the Blue Tsunami but the early data points to Black turnout (likely driven by Calais) and Latino turnout/defection from Republicans (likely driven by ICE activity) being huge contributing factors.

Data centers rejected by voters across the country — challenging the AI boom
The nationwide data center buildout has been at the heart of the U.S. economic growth story — and driven large stock gains — for most of President Donald Trump’s second term.

Data center capacity in Southeast Asia is projected to triple from 2025 levels by 2030, driven by a tenfold surge in AI use, according to a KPMG report.
This can put pressure on water supplies, but also electricity grids still heavily reliant on planet-warming fossil fuels.
ah there we have it

I wrote about how the midterms truly prove how much Americans hate data centers and the big tech and AI companies that fund them.
And how, like the Ancient Mariner, the US tech industry now must wear the rotting, squawking albatross of MAGA around their necks, due to their own stupid actions.
