Yeah, welcome to my world!

California went from solid red to solid blue after the 1986 amnesty, never to return. WE are now beholden to a democRAT super-majority in the state house — pro gun control, pro high taxes, pro statism, pro welfare/voting rights/sanctuary to illegal aliens.

There were a lot of cries at the tine about “cutting California loose” so it could sink into the ocean.

Despite all the insults, I warned and warned those in other states that in 50 years THEIR state would look exactly like MINE unless this were stopped. I was wrong about the length of time, but right about the premise.

***COLORADO IS SLOWLY BECOMING LIKE CALIFORNIA.***

Too late! Forty years ago the best bumper sticker in Colo was DON’T CALIFORNICATE COLORADO!

Unfortunately it now has been. Now the Libs are working on New Mexico and Montana.

You could add all the areas of the state except Larimer, Boulder, and metro Denver. Or just take the Eastern half except for Denver - we’ve got conservative people here in Southern CO as well you know. Just saying.

Why don't the secessionists consider joining Wyoming? Their economy and culture is far more compatible with the Cowboy State.

Actually it reminds me much of Oregon.
Zero real business growth. Large companies are considered BAD.
Public Service Unions are everywhere.
People looking for gov handouts to fund stupid ideas.
It could be stopped if we showed CO voters how this has destroyed CA and OR.

Democrats . . . urinate on themselves.

It seems that that's what they are doing now with Syria - with the GOP-e handing them Depends.
