"Woke" is obviously some sort of evil spirit that MAGA considers to be objectively real.

Blood sacrifices are the remedy,

Jesus Christ are all Republicans brain dead idiots who can only chirp a small vocabulary of spoon-fed words?

Because, you know, it couldn't possibly have been the insane 0.5 in of ice they received...nope. It's "woke" politics at a utility company...

Nobody in Tennessee should ever be without power in any of their cities thanks to the FDR-legacy Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) that powers all of their cities and six other states.

Infrastructure maintenance of the TVA power grid should be spread out, not concentrated in one location.

Felon Musk's energy-consuming AI Colossus facility may be a contributing factor.
