Colorado Democrats aren't bothering to hide their disdain for Coloradans and liberty anymore.
California was once said to be the “laboratory of Democracy" that set the tone for the rest of the nation, but Colorado is hot on its heels. True, California hasn’t done that, except for its blue-state influence for a long time, and some of those states are working hard to out-Californicate California. Following the midterms, Colorado appears poised to influence, or at least largely reflect, congressional Democrat designs on America. The Washington Examiner explains:
Last week, Colorado voters passed several propositions that run counter to the state Democratic Party’s platform. Two of them, Propositions 134 and 135, address transgenderism by barring male athletes from girls’ sports and banning sex-change surgeries for transgender minors. The other two, Propositions 132 and 133, address crime by increasing penalties for possessing or selling fentanyl and making child sex trafficking punishable by life in prison.
Shouldn’t there be celebration in the Mile-High state? Shouldn’t Coloradans be universally praising the vindication of the will of the people? Yeah, not so much. As NYC Mayor Ed Koch said when he lost his fourth bid for office: “The people have spoken, and now they must be punished.”
On the same ballot, Colorado voters gave Democrats a projected legislative supermajority and elected Democrat Phil Weiser governor by nearly 28 points. And because punishing criminals and protecting children from the imposition of transgenderism are outside the Democratic Party’s priorities, Weiser is already considering how he and Colorado Democrats can alter those measures.
Speaking about Propositions 134 and 135, Weiser said, “We’re going to have to take a look at these anti-trans measures and what adjustments are necessary and appropriate.”
On Proposition 132, Weiser said outright that he doesn’t want

Leftists always pick the most beautiful places to ruin.
Does anybody know how the trans movement has such power behind it? It’s taken over the Democrat party.
The demographic changes seem unstoppable.
Face it. Lefties ruin everything they get close to...everything. They are like relentless termites eating away at foundations of civility and sanity. Shun them.
As to the elections...it is fraud and cheating that are overwhelming the system. Lefties know no bounds to their perfidy and insanity.

The Democrat Party is an association of mentally ill people.
At a guess, I would say it's all about the one world thing. Any nation that stands strong in their national government is in for rough time. They will do anything and every to destroy the cohesion of such a nation.
Maybe we should ask the UN and George Soros about it.
Colorado is fast becoming a failed state. Once a bastion of “cowboy values”, the translocation of the Left Coast “intellectuals” has overwhelmed that native good sense, and reduced Colorado to a level with much of New England states, and for the same reasons, invasion by Boston and NYC “intellectuals”.
Nope, California is a cancer that has metastasized across the United States.
It’s a virtue signal aimed at Republicans and conservatives. Even the WNBA is anti-trans as is the NCAA. They both know it would destroy women’s $ports if men got universal access.
The cancer should be surgically removed from the Union.
The trans issue has money and organization behind it. Where are they coming from? It’s cryptic.
Isn’t Colorado and Texas, now in the race to the bottom ?
Colorado Ping ( Let me know if you wish to be added or removed from the list.)
Not only cryptic, it is impossible to control. When the university mentioned the need for more women in STEM positions, we “fixed” it in the Develop database by simply changing genders on some current employees.
If I claimed to be a woman, they were not allowed to question it.
“The trans issue has money and organization behind it. Where are they coming from?”
Their spiritual father, the devil.
Because it's easier to blame Californians than for Coloradans and Texans to look in the mirror and take responsibility for their own failures.
Oprah, Jerry Springer, Hollywood, and social media are as popular among Coloradans and Texans as anywhere else.
Plenty of native-born Coloradans and Texans with trashy tattoos and multiple divorces, raising kids in single parent households.
Plenty of native-born Coloradans and Texans who are single moms, OnlyFans sluts or customers, and virtue signaling leftists.
But it's comforting to pretend that all Coloradans and Texans are 1950s type, God-fearing, righteous cowboys and cowgirls, and it's only the California transplants who vote for freebies.
