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

They're too stupid to realize what the root of the problem was/is in the first place.

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.

West & East Coast "Conservatives" once removed from what they perceive to be a liberal area, take about 3 yrs to realize they miss the shit hole they use to live in and do everything possible to fuck it up. Granted there are as many true R's moving here too. However when Boulder is considering sales of weed at their farmers markets, those voters are entitlement hungry.

Isn't that the very definition of insanity? Doing the same thing over and over expecting different results. Repeat CA over and over, 50 times, and you have a place that looks much worse than the former USSR after the collapse.

Why do people keep thinking this sucession is related to the new gun laws? I literally had to yell in my class saying "the sucession isn't about guns!"

You can't fix stupid.

I moved here from CA when I was 17. My parents are Libs as is most of my family. They moved here for a better a life.

15 years later my family members are still Libs voting the same way they did in CA. They see CO turning into CA and they don't understand what's going on. Their explanation at this point is that it's just the way things are going to become and they accept it.

15 years later I am a libertarian who votes for the Repubs. My family hates me for it and they say they still don't know how I can vote for those evil greedy Republicans who don't do shit for the middle class.

I kept more of my paycheck under Bush than I did under Clinton and now this Obamacare thing and Obamas bullshit energy policies are going to put me and everyone else in the poor house. How are the Dems supporting the middle class again?

Like I said you can't fix stupid.
