18. I'm using the meme about not having to shovel snow off the car

to show that for a significant number of people there, it was the only thing that apparently mattered. The blithe unawareness that a hugely important mayoral election was happening was shocking. All they cared about was that it didn't snow in Phoenix. Things like schools, good roads, parks, anything else you might want to think of simply didn't matter.

And it's not as though this election was not being covered by the local media. It was. Plus there were plenty of political ads on TV. But somehow, they were completely and blissfully unaware of it.
