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

Fifty five years ago when COLORADO was still a FREE STATE, the most popular bumper sticker was...
“DON’T CALIFORNICATE COLORADO!”
Well, it has been and BAD! Now they are moving in on New Mexico and Texas.
The Californian invasion of Texas has ruined the state. Yep, been saying this was coming. Glad dad didn’t live long enough to see it.
I’m blaming the Nazi war criminal George Soros.
Sadly.
Along with Minnesota.
Welcome to our world of $6/gallon gas - with the gas tax going up automatically every July 1st in perpetuity.
You’ll also enjoy a mileage tax that our new Mexican governor has vowed to implement, coming soon your way, Colorado.
It’s so depressing.
Did the dems forget to rig the ballot proposals?
As a 50 year resident of Colorado I resemble that remark! 😁
Seems likely, the incoming King will kill them
53 of 64 Colorado counties have more registered voters than voting age citizens
If Colorado is the new California, Arizona is rapidly becoming the new Colorado. Texas is still some way behind - about where Arizona was four years ago.
I don't care as much about the worthless GOP getting punished in Federal elections, but the loss of states like Arizona, Colorado, Georgia, and Michigan is very concerning. There is no clear path to get any of them back under sane state-level governance.
Power Cities. Denver in this case.
Many foreign immigrants as members of Congress, Muslims enclaves throughout the country, Muslim mayors and state office holders, welfare recipients wanting more, pussy politicians out for themselves, healthcare care for all including illegals, voters that want the end to the constitution, etc. Sorry folks we’ve given the country away just as Ben Franklin thought we might.
