Corrected.

Same goes with Californians moving to Texas!

Sadly true.  I love that area, and always said it would be the most likely place we'd live if we ever left Texas (which won't happen); but during my last TDYs there it became quite apparent the place was quickly turning blue...

Colorado is the perfect example of previous blue state residents completely destroying what used to be an awesome state. Let it be a crystal clear lesson for everyone in red states who say, “yeah well this is _____, it’ll never happen here/we’re safe.” That’s what everyone said in CO in the 90s; apathy will fuck you over 100% of the time.

That largely depends on where you live in CO. Douglas County is still alive and well.

I guess it’s all perspective based then. My entire family (both sides) settled in DC in the late 1800s. All of my aunts and uncles, and my parents, left there in the last 30 years. As did 27/29 cousins. It is nothing like it used to be…

So you can still buy high capacity magazines, an AR-15 without the 'safety course', and prevent your kid from 'transitioning' in Douglas County?

My girlfriends parents in 77 saying Boulder is hipster but not worried about it. They're harmless.

If wanted high capacity magazines and to buy an AR-15, I’d go back home to Cheyenne, WY to do it where I can since it’s legal and cheaper. Show me a CO law where a minor can dictate the healthcare of themselves without parental consent?

What I meant was Douglas County is still clean, people still get arrested and go to jail/prison for committing crimes, and the migrants wanting to wash your windshield at intersections and harass people doesn’t exist…unlike Denver. Douglas County is also one of the wealthiest counties in the U.S., so all the pronoun-obsessed younger Millennials and Gen Z progressives can’t afford to live there, which is a great thing.

As the saying goes Boulder is 26 square miles surrounded by reality.

Not yet an official law, but the Kelly Loving Act has passed the Colorado House and would authorize the state to revoke a parent's custody for misgendering their own kids.

That act was signed into law in May and will go into effect on 1 October 2026. There are also multiple lawsuits against the act that will most likely wind up at the SCOTUS.
