Rural Colorado counties pursue split from state. Sucession from the state.

We already have a motto:

Park County, Gateway to the Republic of the Rockies.

Liberals not welcome.

Didn't a bunch of farm communities want to get together and create their own state between areas consisting of several different states about 20 years ago?

In some ways Colorado is a lot like my home of Oregon. On my maps both are just about 11"X15" and if all you could do was take 3 quarters each and place them on the map and block out the voters from those three quarters then all would be fine.

Sad that in both cases 1/100th of the state controls the rest.

The West slope would back you up...... less Aspen,and Teluride.

I wish we could have a reset button for Denver and boulder. Most of the problems would go away.

We all have access to a reset button. It's just that a conglomerate of like-minded souls haven't come together yet. Not much an idividual can do in that regard, except "die from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound, while the house (accidentally set on fire by flash bangs) burned down around them".

What I don't get is why don't these counties join Wyoming?

Don't get me wrong I love the fact that they are standing up against hickenshitter and the libs.

What I don't get is... When people move here from California and their failed liberal system that caused the problems they are fleeing, why do they bring those policies with them and expect a different outcome?

They don't think it through that far. Sadly.
