a coherent messaging from the liberal protestors about why they don't want them.

Have they focused in on one or maybe few consistently expressed reasons for their opposition, or are they just going with "we want China to win the AI race and take down the United States"?

There are some issues with good solutions, but I haven't heard any of these protestors having a real discussion about them. Instead, it seems to be just reflex left wing opposition when the orders went out: "Drop the "No Kings" and 'Free Palestine" signs, and pick up the 'No Data Center' signs".
