    Have all the right wing imagery you want.

    This is solid blue Colorado, where California Progressives have settled. They are used to getting their way, but Colorado is all about individual rights. So the Progressives out here get mad quite often when the government doesn’t back their extreme views and mission to ban right-wing imagery. Keep in mind those in question are not a large group of people and do not reflect Progressives elsewhere in the nation.

      I’m from Colorado, we have never been solid blue. Until quite recently we were reliably purple. Outside of our major metro areas we are still pretty red.

      You’re talking out your ass.

        I’ve lived in Colorado for 34 years, it’s solid fucking blue.

        Outside of our major metro areas we are still pretty red

        There are only 500,000 that live outside the metro areas, so yes about 500K Republicans and 5 million Democrats.

          Colorado springs is the second largest metro area and even that city is pretty red. You don’t know what you are talking about

      … in Colorado Springs private schools? I’m guessing you haven’t spent a second in Colorado Springs.

        Colorado Springs isn’t the ultra right-wing haven it used to be. It’s purple and will turn blue in the near future.
