A wave of voter anger over massive data center projects is beginning to reshape U.S. politics, with local officials and senior lawmakers losing elections after backing controversial developments tied to the artificial intelligence boom.
In Utah on Wednesday, State Senate President J. Stuart Adams—one of the most powerful Republicans in the state—lost his primary election after supporting a major data center development near the Great Salt Lake, in one of the clearest signs yet of the growing political risks tied to the industry.
At the local level, the fallout was just as direct. "Do I think that the data center vote cost me the election? Yes I do," former Box Elder County Commissioner Lee Perry said after conceding his primary race, after voting to advance the same project.

Antifa is not even that, except in the loosest sense. Antifa is simply a label used to denote those who are against fascism. So that could mean anyone from Franklin D. Roosevelt to Joseph Stalin, from hard greens to Catholic Liberation Theologians to unreformed Tankies to hedonistic leftists to democratic socialists, all of whom consider the others buzzkills. They might march together in a common protest action but there will be hardly anything they agree upon other than the rise of fascism must be stopped.
