How did Colorado became such a liberal place? It's surrounded by solid red states.

DUDE

>New Mexico
>Red

they don't live among niggers to know how they behave

The universities in Denver and Boulder created a demographic shift

fpbp

Dirty hippies fled to Colorado like a swarm of locusts after they ruined California.

/thread

Migration from California. You don't remember the huge spike in real estate prices ten years or so ago? You know, right when the state started going to shit?

Also:
>Denver

Cities are always liberal shit holes.

weed lmao

Implants. They've already flooded my hometown, what used to be holiday traffic is now every day 5pm traffic. And we're one of the few states accepting rapefugees. Colorado was too good to last..

Liberal faggots who fucked up California with their pet immigrants fleeing east and spreading their liberal disease.

Its happening to Texas and Tennessee as well.

They should be banned from leaving their state, they must live in the mess they made.

Faggots.

Californians moved there in droves for snowboarding/skiing, weed, and to go to CU Boulder. They also have some of the best homeless shelters.

A FUCKING RECTANGLE

Leftism is invariably a fatal economic and social disease, but the disease causes a state to deteriorate much faster if shitskins exist in the affected region.

Actually live here so let me go on and post some truth up in this bitch.

State has hugely liberal areas (Denver)

State has hugely Conservative areas (Everywhere Else mostly)

State has a fuckton of crazy religious people, like New life church and all that shit. People who believe the earth is 6000 years old and god made it in six days, four minutes or whatever.

Pot's legal but its not. Some places have no recreational weed, some places do. LIke how dry counties are everywhere else.

Right now, property is going through the roof because some dumb chucklefucks are telling everyone colorado is the greatest place to live with low unemployment (horseshit, homeless camps) and low crime (spiking, desu).

Colorado is a shithole because everyone thinks the mountains are pretty enough to warrant moving here. Then they can't find a job and realize the state's just a meth'd out high altitude slum.

>new mexico

This. I like cannabis but i feel liberalism as a side effect.

It's got a lot of cool nature and shit which means it's infested with hippies

Well it WAS the best place to live IMO but the liberal faggots have ruined it. Also in the Springs the homeless population has exploded in the last 5 years or so. They're literally fucking everywhere downtown, and on most major intersections

Urban america moved there after they ruined their own cities. It's like a disease.

Legalized marijuana.
Thousands of Californians sold their tiny houses in LA for a few million, moved out here, and Fucked this state up.

Californians flooding our streets, causing nightmarish traffic jams and littering all over the mountains. Fuck them. Also, since this is a Colorado thread, how about that single payer healthcare that'll being even more wastrels?

Every corner, every intersection, they camp 20 feet from my god-damn house and light fires during wildfire season in a vacant field. Motherfuckers drink all day and strew bottles up and down the street while the local police do GOD-DAMN-NOTHING.

Still laughing at Terry Maketa being arrested though. Motherfucker had it coming big time. Now he's trying to act like he's all innocent and shit. Thats what you get for being a crooked ass politician/sheriff in colorado. It takes 20 years for anyone to do anything about it.

I live north of Denver. Please stop coming here, dude weed lmao and old people moving from California have ruined the states housing market.

This. Fucking traffic jams everywhere. To be fair we have a shit roadsystem but motherfuck, I spend 10 minutes at a light, drive 5 feet, and spend another 10 minutes. Fucktons of cars everywhere and nobody has any idea how to signal/drive. It's insane and it's been like this only for a little while. Shit keeps creeping up on us.

Also, drove my fucking room-mate to the VA clinic in Denver. Took us 3.5 hours to drive 50 miles. What the fucking fuck.

Between the Californians (I know it mostly ain't texans, they can actually drive friendly, they're used to police that beat their motherfucking ass if they dont) and the drunk as fuck local military presence screaming up the roads in their racing motorcycles all day, weaving in and out of traffic, this place has become a right proper shithole.

Ever here of rock mountain high?

Colorado has always been a favorite destination for those travelling hippy commune's.

*Hear

You're lucky you aren't in Denver. Every major thoroughfare is a parking lot at ALL hours. It takes me an hour to drive 9 miles home from work.

Pretty much 90% of the people I knew in college wanted to move out to Denver after school

...then they saw the rent prices

pueblo here

I'm surprised that there hasn't been a real "boom" in homeless here. I've heard heroin is a big problem but I stay away from the shitty parts of town so I haven't really seen it.

maybe pueblo is too shitty even for the homeless lmao

Your city is a meme to the rest of the state.

such is life

Every time I feel bad, I say "at least Im not in Pueblo". It's always like five or ten degrees hotter there, it makes no fucking sense. Rent is cheap but I'd rather live in shithole Fountain (Southern Springs) than Pueblo. Seriously.

Fountain is usually hotter than the rest of the area as well, maybe it has to do with the terrain, being valleys and what not, or some other shit I don't know

Colorado Springs here. The problem is a mix of Denver, Boulder, Californian immigrants and the Hispanics in Pueblo.

They've ruined this state.

Because they got smart and figured out that becoming liberal on certain issues makes people want to move to your state, then business and economy starts booming. Colorado and Washington are great examples of this.

Full of spics and nothing of value will be lost

some good korean jack shacks there aayyyy

>Legalization of Marijuana
>good

Yeah, no. We've seen upticks in DUIs and use overall.

It is because the Californian tech companies moving people to the boulder and Denver area. It was def. a blessing when IBM moved out and fired people. Knocked em back a peg or two. Atleast in Boulder I can just go to the gun shop right across the high school and purchase a rifle. And thanks to the strict parking around town I get to walk a few blocks to the car after a purchase and laugh when I see these uneducated people looking shocked and scared.

This

>univsersities

Oy vey, don't forget to sign up for your required first year "enrichment" courses and the required sociology or psychology course!

compared to the revenue its worth it.

Most of the best times I had in CO were in cars under the influence of things. What else a rebel suburbanite playa gon do?

>still buying rifles in a state with magazine laws
>boulder high
damn, reminds me of this freshman slut I lost to a meth dealer

Look i work in the armed security industry. We get contracts weekly because of the homeless. Fuck it, its a high freedom state. Legal weed, buy a handgun same day, and you can always wander out to the mountains to get away from people. Fuck all the transplant weedniggers, but this state is god tier. I just wish we were a cc state with no permit. Like alsaka and montana.

Ny migga. Fuck maketa. Crooked fuck.

The military population has a lot to do with it. Some states it is legal to split lanes on a bike. And then some motherfuckers never seen a half inch of snow.

Timely thread, I am currently staying in a hotel in downtown denver, having spent the last week in various parts of Colorado.

Denver is a fucking nightmare and it had the distinct feel of a diseased place. Just googling around to find stuff to do, I accidentally found a bunch of videos of massive nigger attacks on random people right outside my hotel. As is standard, the attacks are unprovoked and extremely violent group beatings. This is in a supposedly nice area too. Lots of nice restaurants and shops, but it's crawling with junkies and hobos. The homeless are aggressive too. Their are cops everywhere, but they Just stand around and watch, I only saw them intervening with a hobo once last night, and I'm pretty sure the guy they were working in was ODing. Otherwise the cops just watch the hobos turn this nice area into a shithole. Graffiti on everything. Junkies passed out everywhere. I have no respect for a city that allows its self to be cucked by Junkies.

What is so sad, is outside of the cities the people are pretty good. It's kind of a weird breed, but they are ok people. Alot of listen to stoner music , drive a 4x4, carry a gun, and smoke weed types. Kind of a libertarian vibe I guess. I did hear some hippy Bullshit, but these are the types of hippies that "eat local" by shooting and butchering their own elk. Which is not too bad.
A shame this rural mountain paradise will be destroyed by liberals soon.

>Tfw I live in fountain

>Mexicans take over California
>White Californians exercise white flight to Colorado/Oregon/Washington
>steady stream of liberals for decades
>they don't change their beliefs because that would be racist
>start indoctrinating locals
>legalize things just like Cali (hurrr muh gays, muh weed)
>get even more liberals from all over the country because of these laws.
Im from Colorado, I've lived here for my 25 years on Earth. This is exactly what happened.
From talking to people from Oregon/Washington, it seems they experienced a very similar phenomenon.

We are never going red again, sadly.
This place is a Californian colony, and now we are getting hit with a massive wave of liberals coming from all across the nation for MUH WEED.

Clicked on this thread just to see if this would be here

rape some high class escorts and split, homie

You guys want to hear about my drunken crack expeditions in downtown denver? last nig nog jumped a fence with my dude's cash and split

They did the same to Texas and its still deep red.

>Colorado is a Californian colony
>it will soon turn into California
>my memories of my great state will be gone forever melting away like a snowflake landing in water

Just walk you fat fuck

Yup.

At least we have a solid red Missouri. They used to swing Democrat for a solid 100 years until 2008.

Most people think it's because so many people got blue pilled there but it's a microcosm of what happened in California: MExicans.
Mexicans are hard core left wingers.
Mexicans think Euro style social welfare states run by SJW's are conservative and moderate is full on Venezuela.
Colorado used to be white, now it's 20% Mexican.
This means you only need 1/3 of the whites to be blue pilled to have a socialist workers "paradise"

dude weed lmao

I've kind of wanted to move to Colorado or Florida to escape New York taxes and gun laws. I hear that Colorado got a bunch of dude weed bums though. Is it really that bad over there?

I'm moving to Denver soon. I'm conservative, don't smoke weed, will punch out rowdy hippies + niggers when necessary.

Colorado is also freemason central

Its not great. The place is packed. Tue roads are a mess.

We had a road project to fix up i-25. It was outdated before it was even done and that was a couple years before weed.

Im not a smoker and dont care if others smoke but its pure regret now. I really want to get out but im not going east because fuck the electrical union. Not going west because fuck californians. Dont want to go north because im not good with the frozen tundra we call wyoming ...south i guess i could goto but i dont want to live in a shithole i mean mexico since mexicans ruined thier state.

Influx of leftists. The state went from budget surpluses under basically Libertarian leadership (they were issuing tax refunds) to huge deficits under Ritter's leadership. And Dems gerrymandered the everloving hell out of the state. Now that pot is legalized, the wave after wave of Lefty voters basically ensures that Colorado will become California 2.0.

And that's a damn shame, because it was once a truly great state.

They also managed to turn one of the world's leading schools in resource extraction engineering into a green bullshit hive, and they did it through state mandates on curricula and radically lowering admissions standards.

It mostly is. Faggots in Santa Fe and parts of Albuquerque ruin it though.

Move to Florida with me bro. I'll be there after I'm done with college in 2 years

Long Island property taxes are absurd. I don't want to spend 15k every year just to own some fucking house. Sucks too because my family has been living here 4 generations.

Is castle rock far enough away from Denver to avoid lefties and brownos?

I actually moved to Florida for the lack of income tax and lower cost of living. It's a weird state but has some great qualities. But now they're flirting with marijuana legalization, which could wreck the place.

That's because existing in Texas will turn you into a conservative. Even the spics vote republican.

>flirting with marijuana legalization
Okay, medicinal or legal? This matters a lot.

Libs don't move for medicinal. They can probably already get that in their home state.

Who else /Durango/ here?

It's so bizarre. It's like leftists creamed their pants that money was available then immediately put the state back into debt slavery.

It's ultimate kikery.

...

Castle Rock is pretty great IMO, you rarely see Mexicans and virtually no blacks.

Mexicans aren't bad to be honest, it's the gang banger assholes that are mostly confined to Pueblo that are a problem. Here in the Springs they are hard workers and I think they're pretty cool people
