I see that racism is getting the blame for days of Memphis not having power restored. A few days ago, I saw someone on X blaming Trump for the lack of power in a Red state: Indiana. Looking at news accounts, I think I see a more proximate cause. 8/15/26 Chicago Tribune:
The City of Gary is coordinating with law enforcement to line up security for NIPSCO workers after linemen working to restore power after the storm were shot at Friday night.
Utility crews were working in the city when they were fired upon, USW Local 12775 President Ryan Baker said Saturday. The workers, who weren’t injured in the shooting, were driving a marked NIPSCO Jeep they use in assessing damage, he said.
If you know anything about Gary's demographics, I doubt these were Trump voters.
