    Colorado Springs, Weld County, and the ranchers are the bane of my existence. Why would you try to spread Texas here when Texas is what you already want and is right there? I moved here because it was a Bernie state in 2016 and I wanted to be around people who think like me because it’s easier to make the state I want.

    edit: And to highlight the absurdity of it, those right-wing states in the Rockies are better versions of the Rockies. More wild, more permissive hunting and land laws, way cheaper to live in. The right-wing Plains states all have a better rural future as Colorado rapidly experiences climate change. This is the last place I’d want to live if I was a right-winger.
