The American West has always exuded a spirit of rugged individualism, united by the common bonds of hard work and dedication to faith, family, and freedom. However, that spirit is quickly disappearing as political ideologies shift to the left, threatening the very essence of what makes the West great.
The change began on the coast, with California, Oregon, and Washington – once the very definition of the great American West – falling to leftist ideologies. At first it seemed like a joke; we dismissed it as the “Left Coast.” Yet, in the 2020 Presidential Election, Democrats not only won the Left Coast, they also won Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, and Colorado. Joe Biden beat Donald Trump by nearly 7 million votes in the West, and that’s when you include Texas. Where is our Western Conservatism? And how can we fight to return the Spirit of the West to the United States?
The Western Conservative Summit is not in the business of getting any political candidates elected. We work on ideas and policies, and the American West’s leftward trajectory has serious consequences for these states and the nation.

We're cutting our own throats.
No dinner, no K-Y.
“Blame illegal immigration and the amnesty nonsense Reagan signed in ‘86.”
How about Teddy Boy Kennedy and the 65’ immigration act? He got paid for selling out his country.
Shifting??? (’listing’ in nautical terms)
Hell it’s done CAPSIZED* to the left.
* H/T Hank Johnson on Guam’s instability
Weak Fools
No it isn’t. They are bringing California cheating techniques to other Western states. And since the number of voters in the urbs so vastly outweigh the suburbs in the sparsely populated West, it isn’t hard to flip states that are 90%+ Republican geographically to the collectivists.
We need Matt Dillon.
The American West has been on the left since about ever I can remember. California certainly has been, and the other states, including Colorado, had this weird lefty current running through them, mostly because of mining and railroad union organization way back when.
Granted, the miners and others were treated terribly and needed redress (although they were attacked by the feds), but unfortunately that gave room for the Marxists and anarchists to infiltrate and plant their ideas.
Denver has shifted to the left.
The People’s Republic of Boulder has long been a haven for lefties.
Colorado Springs, and most all the state’s rural areas have nothing good to say about those two.
The big swindle of our time is the communist attempt to convince Americans that most people are on the left.
This is a lie. The proof is how much support Trump got.
I’d be highly skeptical about this kind of article.
Bingo.
You win.
“The big swindle of our time is the communist attempt to convince Americans that most people are on the left.”
Those on the dole ride donkeys.
Those on the dole, unarmed public employees and those owing money on federally-related loans should not be able to vote.
If leftist ideas were so popular, the communists wouldn’t have to disguise them with conservative decoration.
Just look at Obama. The only way he got into office, other than using voting machines to cheat, was by saying he was for tax cuts and that he supported the military.
It’s all a big lie. Communists are incapable of winning with communism.
Because the trash that is the Left is seeping out into neighboring states.
It’s a trying, crying shame.
>> Joe Biden beat Donald Trump by nearly 7 million votes in the West, and that’s when you include Texas.
Joe Biden did not beat Donald Trump in Texas therefore the “nearly 7 million more votes” for Biden did NOT come from Texas.
The biggest blame is liberal white women.
I read their comments on my hometown FB page. Nothing but bleeding hearts and everyone is a victim in their world.
Amen.
The biggest blame is COLLEGE EDUCATED white women who are nearly all indoctrinated into liberalism and they vote and they are taking nearly all the jobs men used to have.
Our local newspaper showed all the HS scholarship winners. 1 white male and the rest were all female about 34 of them
