That's how I felt in my home city in California by the time I left I felt like an outsider in my own home. It had been taken over by illegals, green card workers for the giant tech companies, and violent drug addict homeless.
Colorado was a beautiful and pristine state to live in....Now, Colorado has been trashed due to all the people who have moved here and just Don't CARE !!
As a born and raised Colorado resident.... I am heartbroken by what my state has now become. Legal MJ was the start of the fall, the Boulder hippie's (that now somehow have tons of $$), the out of CA great mass migration to Colorado home buyers (usually paid for in in cash), a gay governor (first ever... I think?), AND COLORADO is demographically mostly WHITE!! That last point should tell everyone all they need to know about Colorado elites. The liberal/left are complete hypocrites! My large county (Jefferson) is actively CLOSING schools.... due to a supposed "lack" of enrollment. Colorado IS NOT FOR FAMILIES ANY LONGER.... it's only for activist/urban/single/woke/sustainable minded Californians.
I agree. Born and raised in Lakewood. I have lived in Colorado Springs for the last 42 years. The state has changed so much I am considering moving to a small town in Wyoming. Simply not worth living here any more.
We moved here from Texas 4 years ago, just as covid was "popping up." We hear the same thing from all the lifelong people. That Colorado was not always like this. That it has gone to Hell in the past 15 years. The husband retires in a few short years, and we are getting out of here.
Its democrats and communists not weed. Weed was legalized by conservatives in this State. Provable because the numbers do not reflect the party split at the time of the actual vote

The depraved mind has taken Colorado over. This state accepts wickedness. Instead of fighting against the wickedness, the people have assimilated, and that's why Colorado has changed.
not really its young people from colleges that moved in along with a wealthy elite that added residences and lets be honest colorado was wat maybe 55-45 republican 2 decades ago and now its 45-55. not much happened other than a liberal elite has taken over with the support of the average idiot colorado voter.
Yes indeed, lived here most my life and I saw the state go from red to purple to full blown bluetard! Gotta love how all of these refugees from failed liberal states got to go around trying to spread the love
True .. as libertarian as I lean, having been all for legalization, after recreational weed it seems like every riff raff from every part of the country flocked here, along with all of the Californian authoritarians
Yep, the combination of 100% mail in ballots with weed legalization (which caused a huge flood of leftists into the state). We left in January of 2020, and while I miss the mountains I'm glad we left.
@@VWGTO1 I WITNESSED IT EVERY TIME I WENT TO THE DMV. Over seven times durinf c0 vid. Not to mention my illegal co worker that was able to get a D.L. and proudly brags about voting. Wake the fvck up
Colorado needs to stop using the Dominion voting system and stop the mail in ballots to all. This was a Red State before they started this in our voting!
Its sad to see the canadian voting systems in usa. Canada is the worst country on earth. Worse than north korea. Is george washington was here hed have gone to war to end that regime canada. They have screwed this country every step of the way and they want liberal government because they take so much advantage of us its actually a catastrophy what that facade of a country has been done in the history books. We are like south korea canada is like north. The founding fathers said to think continentally. Its such a shame you see how unfairly advantaged canada is compared to everyone else on earth. They cant resist a russian invasion without usa holding alaska inbetween yet theyre determined to he the main voting system we use they ar ewho is determinimg who rules over us liberally. You vote for trump oops your ballot just went out the reject box and we accidentally lost it or surely we counted it who knows! Fraud built in butnits illegal to criticize it or youll be meliciously persecuted like fox news and charged millions and millions. What a fucking joke. It would be better kim jong un clunt our votes than a company from canada named fucking DOMINION. Its like you say theres a conspiracy that in spongebon mr crabs patties are made of crabs when hes a lobster named mr crabs and hes thr most famous place in town for the CRABBY patty but if you say the patty is crabby they say its a conspiracy theory youre like a flat earther. Dominion is the same way canadians are part of the usa thought police if you dare question dominions corruption they go bonkers like heinrich himmler. Off to the RE EDUCATION CAMP for jordan peterson. Canada is north korea. the north korea if north america. Both love socialism and hate god except for a few but lets be honest they were born in usa and genetically camemfrok far away lands they are brown they arent from canada theyre integrated in the actual canadians hate god they love transgenderism and theres a few working class people left they just wanted to not live in a dystopian nightmare but supreme leader trudeu seizes all bank accounts whom dare protest him
Its odd how we see this being talked about in other states, or in Congress for other states, but nobody really talks about it for Colorado despite it being so obvious that it happened here too. I know lots of lefties have moved here from CA and other liberal strongholds which added to the problem, but I do fully believe we are also victims of Nobama and the Dominion crap.
I have just moved back to Colorado after living in Europe for nearly 30 years and I hardly recognize the place. I’m so happy I found your channel. You give me hope.
Good. We can't vote blue team anymore. You have to spend a lot of extra time in your blue book too because some truly crazy stuff is in there and it's sneaky. If Dems back it, vote no. At this point the old checks and balances we used to enjoy are toast and California's political machine has taken over the Colorado Democrats.
I just moved back from Florida after 20 years and I feel the same. I knew things had changed but I couldn’t stay away from the mountains and weather. But channels like this give me hope maybe we can do something. I think many have to come back home and those still here need to stay. Together we can get it back. ❤
I came from NYC, and left because the city was filthy, crime ridden, and unaffordable. I am a Conservative and am disgusted by what has happened to my beautiful Colorado. Voting for Trump, because the alternative is frightening. I’ve lived in Colorado for51 years.
I used to live in Colorado. My wife, family, and I moved away in 2006 to Wyoming. Colorado has gone down the crapper! Badly! Glad I left. I wish Colorado was still a mountain west state, but it’s just a big black hole of authoritarianism.
Yeah, but the problem is when we moved to red states all we do is raise the cost-of-living for the people that already live there. All we do is spread the cancer.
4 generations of Colorado natives here - Colorado today does not even resemble the place we were born into. Rocky Mountains were sold out by 4 Billionaires Higgin. . . - Polis -
And we have been protecting this state from exploitation ever since! We are NOT the cause! Look at the red counties! They changed! Not the same people! They take no responsibility or themselves and are the cause of their own problems and will continue to hate and blame and vote against their best interests. And we passed right to repair. Republicans voted against it!
Agreed. Polis is horrible. Now we have illegal migrants taking over apartments in Aurora and he is not doing anything. Our state is being literally invaded by illegals.
@@WN_Byers Not a troll, just not a sheep listening to politicians telling you you're a victim. I actually like winning elections, as opposed to complaining about the outcome.

The family had to travel HERE from a COMMUNIST red neck red state to get her treatment! For shame! The parents faced PROSECUTION in their state! PS: the strain had virtually no THC and cured their daughter!
I am one of those California refugees. I got here 3 years ago but unlike many Californians I am a libertarian-conservative who has never voted democrat in my life. I brought my independent-minded conservative politics with me and so have many others. Most of the Californians I have met here left California to escape the liberal lunacy. Denver and Boulder are the problem. And Biden dumping tens of thousands of illegals into the state didn’t help.
While I appreciate your comment, you are the problem. You overinflated our housing market because you probably over paid for your house causing bidding wars. However, salaries don’t match here. While you sound like you had good intentions, you should have stayed there and saved California.
@@tomkat9557 How dare you. I bought 5 acres of land and a decrepit house that needed 80k of repairs to make it livable. You should be kissing my ass for bringing a conservative vote to Colorado.
@@teamenemy. I don't have a problem with weed necessarily. It was more of a timing issue that brought liberal culture from all around the nation. It has affected us in ways that couldn't have been predicted. Wolves being introduced, for example which has turned into a disaster would have never been voted in if the weed culture didn't come here.
Ha, as if Denver is missing out 'cause Kevin won't come for a visit. Colorado is blue because we want a well-run state. If you don't like it, you can always move to one of those red states that consistently rank in the top 10 of worst places to live in the country. 😅😅

I had a social worker/vice principal at DSST Byers (now Cedar) help my teenage daughter run away from home after false abuse allegations. Denver Police told the school my daughter was a runaway, not in DHS care, and under my guardianship, but the social worker still helped my daughter run away from home. My daughter ended up being admitted to Jefferson Hills over that incident, which cost me thousands in medical bills. DSST's school board would not even return inquiries from me about it. Denver Public Schools said, "We don't control them and have no liability over this incident." So, who holds DSST accountable? The event I described was the bookend of two years of severe misbehavior and overstepping boundaries on the part of DSST. I have it all documented, and it's almost unbelievable. When I've told snippets of my experience with DSST under news articles, there are almost always replies of "That didn't happen." Yeah, I would have thought so too.
Yes, that happened to our family also. Sabotage by “ alarming and distressing, causing loss and harm to the innocent “ ,criminal behavior by strangers!
Get this to info into the right hands in DC who will see that action is taken and public schools are defunded for political criminal behavior. The Trump administration has already threatened defunding of states who use woke ideology and politics for criminal behavior.
@@lisamoag6548 The problem is that regular people are afraid to stand up. They are afraid of being labeled racist, transphobic, MAGA, whatever. I taught at a high school in Denver where they brought in a radical gender theory person who presented said theories as fact. I knew of multiple staff members who were opposed to it, but they were too afraid to speak up. Same thing at DSST-Byers. I have met one teacher away from their campus who is very much opposed the leadership's SJW ideologies, but the teacher doesn't want to deal with the fallout of taking a stand against it.
I finally moved to Colorado from Louisiana almost 3 years ago after being called here since I was 14. It took me 30 years to get here, and I'm not leaving. I've been saying for years it was a coordinated effort to turn red states blue. This ship can be righted. It is not a lost cause yet.
I grew up in Greeley Colorado back in the 50’s and 60’s and loved every minute of it. It was a great time to grow up in Colorado. At the time the republicans were in charge of the government. There was real freedom like what was in the founding fathers constitution. Now the government in Colorado has changed to be liberal communist democrat. I could never move back there and live under that repression.
Do not worry. Colorado is losing people. Colorado is too ecologically fragile to make any more mess. Move to Texas and Florida. Colorado was never supposed to be a population hub.
I'm southern Born and raised, however my mom's people were pioneers in Rifle Colorado. I can't wait to Head back down south Colorado has fallen. Newcomers welcome to the peoples Republic of Colorado.

@@Kick_Rocks Don't let the door hit ya! I'm sure you'll love Wyoming, ir Utah, or whichever Republican hellscape you land on. As someone who has lived in Colorado since '78 I can attest to the fact that Democrats have made this one of the best states to lice in. Buh bye!

While polis is to busy taking it in the rear by his brown nosing followers he is allowing the invitation of mass meham in his own state..he is vetted by the organization(s) that are paying him worldly dividends for his selfish elitist gifts.
I'm a born and raided Boulderite and I can't believe how nasty things have gotten here. I moved back here from Florida last summer and looking at the Creek and railways, I was completely shocked. It's also shocking how many people witness the degradation, know the answer as to why it's happening deep down and they continue to take the same actions... goes to show how deep conditioning and brainwashing runs now. Really sad. I'll never vote blue so long as I live. It's Orwellian. War is peace, poverty is wealth, weakness is strength.
It is everywhere unfortunately, up here in the mountains there are less and less natives and more out of staters with more money than they can deal with buying up land. Still thankfully some well armed holdouts up here
Something to think about… In regards to politics- being a democratic state, the influence of the WEF/NWO agenda (wokeism): Now understand that democrats hate republicans (with a passion), and though there have always been differences… but, the democrats have had an agenda since the 60’s- but the agenda was kept (secret), but the intention was not to create too much of a change least they be noticed, but a slow implementation. But things said by politicians which gave a warning in regards to what is happening and what is in planning, but most people ignored the warnings because- from a republican it would be deemed a “conspiracy theory” and worthless information… nonetheless, those warnings are now becoming a reality… and not a theory. But democrats still insist anything, any information contrary to their agenda is considered a “conspiracy theory”. Despite all the facts and evidence proving the democrats have been planning a conspiracy to destroy our country and our morals.
Oh bullshit! You have it all backwards. You are being fooled by those that want to manipulate you and exploit you. The ones that propagate this bullshit are the real perpetrators. You cannot cite one bit of evidence to support your bullshit claim.
I like where he’s going on where money should be spent for the best return but that battle in CO was lost a long time ago. Denver dominates the political landscape of the state like most urban blue islands do in other states. It’s only getting worse as California continues its slide into the abyss and exports more liberals to ruin the rest of the country. TABOR is the only thing preventing Denver from becoming Chicago with a different demographic.
As a native who recently moved back, it hurts to see what it has become. But watching this has been very encouraging and informative. I’ve always asked what can I do? Am a nobody. I don’t know the first thing. Finally hearing practical advice and steps that I can take. And also learning how the left was able to get to this point and how the right is failing is extremely eye opening.
I have a rich friend who could have bought a beautiful ranch in Elbert county and he told me he would never buy anything in Colorado.. I asked him why? He said politics. That was 30 years ago and he was right.. I sold my property in Colorado and looking elsewhere..
I saw the changes in Colorado first hand. I "grew up" as a surfer in Southern California graduating in 1964. Got drafted in 65' along with my whole graduating class and sent to Vietnam. (to cover for LBJ's air America drug running operation). When I got back and experienced being spit on and called traitor by half the people and then hugged and called hero by the other half which caused me to leave, and that's when I found Telluride in 1970. It was paradise until 1983 or so when the big money came out of nowhere and built mountain village, a 23 story hotel, and an airport (scareport) on our little ski area. The "lefties" from SF and NY had taken over the town counsel and by 1990 when their "parachute fliers" kicked out our Hang Gliding community, which had become world renown, and crowed the skies. The leftie snow board crew had crowded our alpine ski slopes, the black lives matter low life's were parading our main street, and the "trans-activists" were reading their filth in our preschool, and pride day parades were done. with "joy". . What a change from our "fun loving" being on the mountain every day, trying to be first in line on powder days, working hard and drinking hard, and just taking in the rarefied air. Like you said that Boulder had become a very radical progressive town, now Telluride had become a close second for the same reasons. The town counsel, the chamber of commerce, the school board, had been infiltrated and us conservatives were asleep at the wheel. It got so bad there that 20 years ago I moved down to the Canyons of the Ancients where the spirit of the San Juan Mountains still survives. The only thing that will win for us is to vote the bastards out, prosecute the election fraudsters, send all the people who won't speak English back, and "lock and load".
BS excuse. Name one. We are the ones that protect the air, land, and water. We protect civil and human rights. We are for responsible development and conservation. Your side exploits and then blames the wrong people. Far left idealism? What the f does that mean.? BS propaganda by those that want to exploit you.
I live in Blackhawk and I'm not going anywhere. I refuse to leave and let this place rot. People will move out, but if it's the wrong people it'll never get any better
I believe the biggest problem we see in Colorado is a lack of voter education. We see the concentration of "gimme stuff" Dems in the Denver metro, akin to other big cities, where the homeless, druggies, and criminals congregate. Maybe an intense focus on getting an actual libertarian in as mayor the next election who can effect change by drastically cutting handouts and services to these populations would encourage them to go elsewhere. Say, for instance, Jon Caldara runs for Denver mayor.
Jon I agree with you completely. What you describe is what the democrats are doing. They work very hard on the street. We have to organize in order to preserve our Republic. Cheers from Hesperus!
when my son applied to CU in 1999 he was denied admittance not because of his solid GPA, but because we were told that CU holds back many many spots for out-of state tuition, mainly from California. it still irks me to this day that a state funded school would give preference to out of state students over in-state students. gotta keep that liberal vibe going!
What is said at 15:57 is too true! I run into this all the time with what I often affectionately refer to as "Mindless MAGAs" .. Truth is, it's alot easier to sit back and run your mouth all day as keyboard warriors on social media, outsource your individual responsibility by getting behind another golden calf in Washington, than it is to put your hand to the plow and create positive real world change in your own lives.
As a transplant from Ohio the first thing I noticed was how well the Democrats are organized. They have developed a strategy and the tactics to move their plans forward. Meanwhile the Republicans seems to act like the Keystone Kops. Colorado is lost. Jon Caldara is fighting the good fight but he is shining the brass on the Titanic.
Good to see and hear you again, John. Used to listen to and watch you a lot over the past several decades when we lived in Colorado. I got tired of the direction that Colorado and the Denver area were headed in so I moved our 3 generations of family to a different state last fall. You are right on target with everything you said in this interview. It was hard to leave the state where I was born and grew up in, but we are all very happy now in our new home. Depending on the results of elections in November, we might end up moving to another country. I sincerely hope that people make the right choice when they vote and that any election corruption is caught immediately and properly addressed. Best regards to you!
Why would you move to another country? There is no country that is immune to what is spreading. Did not our forefathers have to fight a revolution against England to wrest control from an oppressive monarchy? Ask yourself: Is America worth fighting for? If you flee, you are unworthy of America. Please reconsider and stop spreading fear.
What country isn't further along in the toilet drain? Watching what's happening in S America and Europe and Canada, and knowing how bad it always has been in most of Asia, I'd say we're pretty doomed. There are very few places to run to. We have to fight it here, hold on to our constitutional republic while we still can.
I moved out of Aurora in 2021 - due to the tyranny of the Co-vid mandates, along with not able to buy a home. Moved to Texas, bought a home. I miss the geographical beauty of Colorado terribly.
Not sure how I stumbled across this channel but this is great, & I'll have to listen tobthis interview when I get time. I'm a NE native that moved to Greeley, CO from NM to work innthe oil patch. I always heard from my CO native friends I would have lovedbthe state even innthe 90s, but it was sad to see the influence transplants had upon the I25 corridor & hence the state. I'm glad we left six years ago when we did, but I miss the state & the good people that remain.
Colordo has gone off the cliff. We moved here from CA when things got too socialist there. Now, CO and CA are tied. Where do we go now that's not a terrible place to live climate-wise? Texas and Florida are too hot, the Dakotas have just insane winters...where to go? Europe?

I lived in Colorado back in the good old days... remember the "Don't Californicate Colorado" bumper stickers? Part of what allowed Colorado to change as radically as it has was what you mentioned in the video. The general sense of freedom... you do you, I'll do me... sort of opened the door for people with other ideas. While many folks were sitting around thinking laissez-faire, a few were thinking "I'll do me by telling you how to do you" relatively unoppossed. The "Califirnicate" bumper stickers were only half-hearted and most just thought them humorous. It turns out they were deadly serious. I left before it got too bad in Colorado. But I screwed up. I moved to California, where things were tilting left far faster and more steeply! Oops!
As a native to CO, I have seen it go through many changes. Most natives have moved to TX, or MT. It's not the conservative state I grew up in. It's tragic, and it's all due to transplanted Californian's. It started with Highlands Ranch. Most of which was built on a landfill.SURPRISE!!!! Yea, I remember life prior to E470, and its ugly in todays life!!!
Can't stand CA. Laws. If it's happens in CA. It comes to CO. It makes me angry. Colorado is nothing more than a follower of CA. It's Not for our issues. Don't get me started on smoking issues. Smokers have to smoke at the dumpster. And now we have to cater to CAs radical beliefs. Born and raised in Co. And I can't afford to live here. Don't even get me started on the rest of the issues. Border, sanctuary state, green energy. Insurance. And Aurora Colorado issues makes me furious. All those people should be in jail. Now!
what happened to colorado, CALIFORNIA is what happened. get rid of california attitudes and get rid of the dysfunctional governor as a matter of fact send him to california with the other losers
Californians started moving here decades ago because it was so great. So great, but not like back home, so they had to ruin it, just like they did back home in California. That’s why transplants are not appreciated- they bring their broken mess to good places and work to “fix” them, totally oblivious to the fact that the ways of the place they fled from are stupid!
California is the scapegoat by the haters that want to exploit you. Name one action, behavior, or activity that Californians brought here that is degrading. Just one. Your mind is corrupted by the hate and blame media. Every Californian that moved here has protected this state! They are the ones that protect the legacy of this state, protect the air, land, and water. The have RESPECT for this state and country! They are the ones that protect human and civil rights! They didn't break anything!
I grew up in Boulder, and I can't even begin to express how much I hate this place now. 😡
As did I. I just checked. No locks to keep you here. Pack your shit and leave. No one will miss you.
That's how I felt in my home city in California by the time I left I felt like an outsider in my own home. It had been taken over by illegals, green card workers for the giant tech companies, and violent drug addict homeless.

@TheAnnoyingBoss LOL do it, maybe you'll get a visit from some Venezuelans.
Commiefornication 🎶 that's what happened to Colorado!
not really its young people from colleges that moved in along with a wealthy elite that added residences and lets be honest colorado was wat maybe 55-45 republican 2 decades ago and now its 45-55. not much happened other than a liberal elite has taken over with the support of the average idiot colorado voter.
Yes indeed, lived here most my life and I saw the state go from red to purple to full blown bluetard! Gotta love how all of these refugees from failed liberal states got to go around trying to spread the love

@@paulbrouwer7559 yes the People's Republic of Boulder
Boulder, Denver are the leading cause of this state being blue. Queers and their supports can ruin normal peoples freedoms .

Voter fraud and illegal immigration has a lot to do with the downfall of Colorado.
Dominion voting machines are unbeatable 😢
From what I heard from people who lived in Colorado, California happened too.
Polis sure has not helped Colorado.
True .. as libertarian as I lean, having been all for legalization, after recreational weed it seems like every riff raff from every part of the country flocked here, along with all of the Californian authoritarians
We need to make sure the election workers/poll watchers are evenly split. Seems they hire mostly Democrats. That's illegal.
V0ter fra-ud facilitated through registration of every individual at the DMV is how Colorado has fallen
Colorado needs to do what Texas just did.
Yep, the combination of 100% mail in ballots with weed legalization (which caused a huge flood of leftists into the state). We left in January of 2020, and while I miss the mountains I'm glad we left.
@@Zundfolge you're wrong about cannabis fullstop. The solution is to remove the State and totally decriminalize it

You mean non leadership....
Everyone outside of Denver and Boulder hate what has happened here. It's the Rocky Mountain Heist.
Just like hawaii they also made colorado only for the big club
Colorado needs to stop using the Dominion voting system and stop the mail in ballots to all. This was a Red State before they started this in our voting!
Its sad to see the canadian voting systems in usa. Canada is the worst country on earth. Worse than north korea. Is george washington was here hed have gone to war to end that regime canada. They have screwed this country every step of the way and they want liberal government because they take so much advantage of us its actually a catastrophy what that facade of a country has been done in the history books. We are like south korea canada is like north. The founding fathers said to think continentally. Its such a shame you see how unfairly advantaged canada is compared to everyone else on earth. They cant resist a russian invasion without usa holding alaska inbetween yet theyre determined to he the main voting system we use they ar ewho is determinimg who rules over us liberally. You vote for trump oops your ballot just went out the reject box and we accidentally lost it or surely we counted it who knows! Fraud built in butnits illegal to criticize it or youll be meliciously persecuted like fox news and charged millions and millions. What a fucking joke. It would be better kim jong un clunt our votes than a company from canada named fucking DOMINION. Its like you say theres a conspiracy that in spongebon mr crabs patties are made of crabs when hes a lobster named mr crabs and hes thr most famous place in town for the CRABBY patty but if you say the patty is crabby they say its a conspiracy theory youre like a flat earther. Dominion is the same way canadians are part of the usa thought police if you dare question dominions corruption they go bonkers like heinrich himmler.

Both love socialism and hate god except for a few but lets be honest they were born in usa and genetically camemfrok far away lands they are brown they arent from canada theyre integrated in the actual canadians hate god they love transgenderism and theres a few working class people left they just wanted to not live in a dystopian nightmare but supreme leader trudeu seizes all bank accounts whom dare protest him
Its odd how we see this being talked about in other states, or in Congress for other states, but nobody really talks about it for Colorado despite it being so obvious that it happened here too. I know lots of lefties have moved here from CA and other liberal strongholds which added to the problem, but I do fully believe we are also victims of Nobama and the Dominion crap.
I have just moved back to Colorado after living in Europe for nearly 30 years and I hardly recognize the place. I’m so happy I found your channel. You give me hope.

Good. We can't vote blue team anymore. You have to spend a lot of extra time in your blue book too because some truly crazy stuff is in there and it's sneaky. If Dems back it, vote no.

But channels like this give me hope maybe we can do something. I think many have to come back home and those still here need to stay. Together we can get it back. ❤
Fun fact, prior to Obama Colorado voted for Republican presidential candidates every election stretching back to 1964!
@NightwatchN8 actually Clinton won CO in 1992.
I came from NYC, and left because the city was filthy, crime ridden, and unaffordable. I am a Conservative and am disgusted by what has happened to my beautiful Colorado. Voting for Trump, because the alternative is frightening. I’ve lived in Colorado for51 years.
I used to live in Colorado. My wife, family, and I moved away in 2006 to Wyoming. Colorado has gone down the crapper! Badly! Glad I left. I wish Colorado was still a mountain west state, but it’s just a big black hole of authoritarianism.
Wyoming isnt worth it though no one lives there for a reason.
Yeah, but the problem is when we moved to red states all we do is raise the cost-of-living for the people that already live there. All we do is spread the cancer.
DEMOCRATS, and bad policy is screwing up Colorado. Polis trying to turn Denver into the worst of California!
4 generations of Colorado natives here - Colorado today does not even resemble the place we were born into. Rocky Mountains were sold out by 4 Billionaires Higgin. . . - Polis -
What happened to Colorado?
Liberals started moving there in the mid-to late 70’s and it’s been on a downward slide ever since.
And we have been protecting this state from exploitation ever since! We are NOT the cause! Look at the red counties! They changed! Not the same people! They take no responsibility or themselves and are the cause of their own problems and will continue to hate and blame and vote against their best interests. And we passed right to repair. Republicans voted against it!
the people of denver, that is what happened
Polis happened to Colorado
You don't understand causation do you? All rooted in cowardice.
Agreed. Polis is horrible. Now we have illegal migrants taking over apartments in Aurora and he is not doing anything. Our state is being literally invaded by illegals.
Would the political landscape in Colorado be different if we could trust elections?
Great question!
Yes. We saw the same when we lived in Oregon, which also has mail in elections. That is how these states remain blue and self destructive.
Yes!
No trust cause Trump says so? Embarrassing.
@@VWGTO1 No trust because many of we the people we're paying close attention and saw what really happened. Fool us once...

I brought my independent-minded conservative politics with me and so have many others. Most of the Californians I have met here left California to escape the liberal lunacy. Denver and Boulder are the problem. And Biden dumping tens of thousands of illegals into the state didn’t help.

I had a social worker/vice principal at DSST Byers (now Cedar) help my teenage daughter run away from home after false abuse allegations. Denver Police told the school my daughter was a runaway, not in DHS care, and under my guardianship, but the social worker still helped my daughter run away from home. My daughter ended up being admitted to Jefferson Hills over that incident, which cost me thousands in medical bills. DSST's school board would not even return inquiries from me about it. Denver Public Schools said, "We don't control them and have no liability over this incident." So, who holds DSST accountable?
The event I described was the bookend of two years of severe misbehavior and overstepping boundaries on the part of DSST. I have it all documented, and it's almost unbelievable. When I've told snippets of my experience with DSST under news articles, there are almost always replies of "That didn't happen." Yeah, I would have thought so too.
Something similar happened to my friend and she hasn't seen her daughter for 8 years.
Yes, that happened to our family also.
Sabotage by “ alarming and distressing, causing loss and harm to the innocent “ ,criminal behavior by strangers!
Get this to info into the right hands in DC who will see that action is taken and public schools are defunded for political criminal behavior. The Trump administration has already threatened defunding of states who use woke ideology and politics for criminal behavior.
@@lisamoag6548 The problem is that regular people are afraid to stand up. They are afraid of being labeled racist, transphobic, MAGA, whatever. I taught at a high school in Denver where they brought in a radical gender theory person who presented said theories as fact. I knew of multiple staff members who were opposed to it, but they were too afraid to speak up. Same thing at DSST-Byers. I have met one teacher away from their campus who is very much opposed the leadership's SJW ideologies, but the teacher doesn't want to deal with the fallout of taking a stand against it.
I finally moved to Colorado from Louisiana almost 3 years ago after being called here since I was 14. It took me 30 years to get here, and I'm not leaving. I've been saying for years it was a coordinated effort to turn red states blue. This ship can be righted. It is not a lost cause yet.
I grew up in Greeley Colorado back in the 50’s and 60’s and loved every minute of it. It was a great time to grow up in Colorado. At the time the republicans were in charge of the government.

Born in Denver. Moving because its too expensive and turning into commifornia.
It is everywhere unfortunately, up here in the mountains there are less and less natives and more out of staters with more money than they can deal with buying up land. Still thankfully some well armed holdouts up here
Something to think about…
In regards to politics- being a democratic state, the influence of the WEF/NWO agenda (wokeism):
Now understand that democrats hate republicans (with a passion), and though there have always been differences… but, the democrats have had an agenda since the 60’s- but the agenda was kept (secret), but the intention was not to create too much of a change least they be noticed, but a slow implementation.
But things said by politicians which gave a warning in regards to what is happening and what is in planning, but most people ignored the warnings because- from a republican it would be deemed a “conspiracy theory” and worthless information… nonetheless, those warnings are now becoming a reality… and not a theory.
But democrats still insist anything, any information contrary to their agenda is considered a “conspiracy theory”. Despite all the facts and evidence proving the democrats have been planning a conspiracy to destroy our country and our morals.
Oh bullshit! You have it all backwards. You are being fooled by those that want to manipulate you and exploit you. The ones that propagate this bullshit are the real perpetrators. You cannot cite one bit of evidence to support your bullshit claim.
Our friend, the Senator from Wisconsin, most certainly blew the whistle
I like where he’s going on where money should be spent for the best return but that battle in CO was lost a long time ago. Denver dominates the political landscape of the state like most urban blue islands do in other states. It’s only getting worse as California continues its slide into the abyss and exports more liberals to ruin the rest of the country. TABOR is the only thing preventing Denver from becoming Chicago with a different demographic.
As a native who recently moved back, it hurts to see what it has become. But watching this has been very encouraging and informative. I’ve always asked what can I do? Am a nobody. I don’t know the first thing. Finally hearing practical advice and steps that I can take. And also learning how the left was able to get to this point and how the right is failing is extremely eye opening.
I have a rich friend who could have bought a beautiful ranch in Elbert county and he told me he would never buy anything in Colorado.. I asked him why? He said politics. That was 30 years ago and he was right.. I sold my property in Colorado and looking elsewhere..
We moved here from Texas 4 years ago and immediately felt the tension here. Getting out when mu husband retires soon.
I saw the changes in Colorado first hand. I "grew up" as a surfer in Southern California graduating in 1964. Got drafted in 65' along with my whole graduating class and sent to Vietnam. (to cover for LBJ's air America drug running operation). When I got back and experienced being spit on and called traitor by half the people and then hugged and called hero by the other half which caused me to leave, and that's when I found Telluride in 1970. It was paradise until 1983 or so when the big money came out of nowhere and built mountain village, a 23 story hotel, and an airport (scareport) on our little ski area. The "lefties" from SF and NY had taken over the town counsel and by 1990 when their "parachute fliers" kicked out our Hang Gliding community, which had become world renown, and crowed the skies. The leftie snow board crew had crowded our alpine ski slopes, the black lives matter low life's were parading our main street, and the "trans-activists" were reading their filth in our preschool, and pride day parades were done. with "joy".
.
What a change from our "fun loving" being on the mountain every day, trying to be first in line on powder days, working hard and drinking hard, and just taking in the rarefied air. Like you said that Boulder had become a very radical progressive town, now Telluride had become a close second for the same reasons. The town counsel, the chamber of commerce, the school board, had been infiltrated and us conservatives were asleep at the wheel. It got so bad there that 20 years ago I moved down to the Canyons of the Ancients where the spirit of the San Juan Mountains still survives. The only thing that will win for us is to vote the bastards out, prosecute the election fraudsters, send all the people who won't speak English back, and "lock and load".
Democrats and Polis ruined Colorado!
What happened? Colorado voted in the far left idealism.
Imported it from Blue cities and Blue states.
BS excuse. Name one. We are the ones that protect the air, land, and water. We protect civil and human rights. We are for responsible development and conservation. Your side exploits and then blames the wrong people. Far left idealism? What the f does that mean.? BS propaganda by those that want to exploit you.
Looks like I'm going to have to win the lottery if I plan to be able to ever retire here in Colorado
I live in Blackhawk and I'm not going anywhere. I refuse to leave and let this place rot. People will move out, but if it's the wrong people it'll never get any better
I believe the biggest problem we see in Colorado is a lack of voter education. We see the concentration of "gimme stuff" Dems in the Denver metro, akin to other big cities, where the homeless, druggies, and criminals congregate. Maybe an intense focus on getting an actual libertarian in as mayor the next election who can effect change by drastically cutting handouts and services to these populations would encourage them to go elsewhere. Say, for instance, Jon Caldara runs for Denver mayor.
Marxists are running the schools. Yes.
Unfortunately Denver isn’t the only place impacted. Many are leaving Denver and moving north ruining our cities and small towns.
Thank you Jon and Brandon for your reasonable discourse!
Colorado is toast. I left 3 years ago and am so glad I did.
Let's have everybody that's blue move to a blue State and we will be just fine. LOL
Jon I agree with you completely. What you describe is what the democrats are doing. They work very hard on the street. We have to organize in order to preserve our Republic. Cheers from Hesperus!
Don't forget the media, even local stations are left leaning.
Kyle Clark and his national ambitions 🤮
when my son applied to CU in 1999 he was denied admittance not because of his solid GPA, but because we were told that CU holds back many many spots for out-of state tuition, mainly from California. it still irks me to this day that a state funded school would give preference to out of state students over in-state students. gotta keep that liberal vibe going!
What is said at 15:57 is too true! I run into this all the time with what I often affectionately refer to as "Mindless MAGAs" .. Truth is, it's alot easier to sit back and run your mouth all day as keyboard warriors on social media, outsource your individual responsibility by getting behind another golden calf in Washington, than it is to put your hand to the plow and create positive real world change in your own lives.
Trump is an alternative to the globalists AND the uniparty. You just don't get it
The right also doesn’t care about people wanting to join the cause. Almost get treated with a distain.
As a transplant from Ohio the first thing I noticed was how well the Democrats are organized. They have developed a strategy and the tactics to move their plans forward. Meanwhile the Republicans seems to act like the Keystone Kops. Colorado is lost. Jon Caldara is fighting the good fight but he is shining the brass on the Titanic.
Anywhere Democrats go, the place falls apart.
Good to see and hear you again, John. Used to listen to and watch you a lot over the past several decades when we lived in Colorado. I got tired of the direction that Colorado and the Denver area were headed in so I moved our 3 generations of family to a different state last fall. You are right on target with everything you said in this interview. It was hard to leave the state where I was born and grew up in, but we are all very happy now in our new home. Depending on the results of elections in November, we might end up moving to another country. I sincerely hope that people make the right choice when they vote and that any election corruption is caught immediately and properly addressed. Best regards to you!
Why would you move to another country? There is no country that is immune to what is spreading. Did not our forefathers have to fight a revolution against England to wrest control from an oppressive monarchy? Ask yourself: Is America worth fighting for? If you flee, you are unworthy of America. Please reconsider and stop spreading fear.
What country isn't further along in the toilet drain? Watching what's happening in S America and Europe and Canada, and knowing how bad it always has been in most of Asia, I'd say we're pretty doomed. There are very few places to run to. We have to fight it here, hold on to our constitutional republic while we still can.
Polis should go back to greeting cards cuz he a terrible gov.

@@wanderingdeer1114 thanks!
There's a saying "You can't vote your way to FREEDOM"! I was on Devil's Advocate many years back...say Hi to Jon for me. Paul Snover - The MAD Cartoonist.
So horrible! And now the Democrats are moving to Wyoming & want to ruin my state!
Stay out!
"If you're driving through Wyoming
and come from a state that's Blue,
Drive on through, we won't miss you
Nobody cares about Wyoming...
LOSER
I lived in Colorado back in the good old days... remember the "Don't Californicate Colorado" bumper stickers?
Part of what allowed Colorado to change as radically as it has was what you mentioned in the video. The general sense of freedom... you do you, I'll do me... sort of opened the door for people with other ideas. While many folks were sitting around thinking laissez-faire, a few were thinking "I'll do me by telling you how to do you" relatively unoppossed. The "Califirnicate" bumper stickers were only half-hearted and most just thought them humorous. It turns out they were deadly serious.
I left before it got too bad in Colorado. But I screwed up. I moved to California, where things were tilting left far faster and more steeply! Oops!
As a native to CO, I have seen it go through many changes. Most natives have moved to TX, or MT. It's not the conservative state I grew up in. It's tragic, and it's all due to transplanted Californian's. It started with Highlands Ranch. Most of which was built on a landfill.SURPRISE!!!! Yea, I remember life prior to E470, and its ugly in todays life!!!
Can't stand CA. Laws. If it's happens in CA. It comes to CO. It makes me angry. Colorado is nothing more than a follower of CA. It's Not for our issues. Don't get me started on smoking issues. Smokers have to smoke at the dumpster. And now we have to cater to CAs radical beliefs. Born and raised in Co. And I can't afford to live here. Don't even get me started on the rest of the issues. Border, sanctuary state, green energy. Insurance. And Aurora Colorado issues makes me furious. All those people should be in jail. Now!
Research Pat Stryker. She has alot to do with the politics in Colorado.
@@milliemcfall23 As in Stryker saws and medical equipment?
what happened to colorado, CALIFORNIA is what happened. get rid of california attitudes and get rid of the dysfunctional governor as a matter of fact send him to california with the other losers
Californians started moving here decades ago because it was so great. So great, but not like back home, so they had to ruin it, just like they did back home in California. That’s why transplants are not appreciated- they bring their broken mess to good places and work to “fix” them, totally oblivious to the fact that the ways of the place they fled from are stupid!
California is the scapegoat by the haters that want to exploit you. Name one action, behavior, or activity that Californians brought here that is degrading. Just one. Your mind is corrupted by the hate and blame media. Every Californian that moved here has protected this state! They are the ones that protect the legacy of this state, protect the air, land, and water. The have RESPECT for this state and country! They are the ones that protect human and civil rights! They didn't break anything!
When I moved to CO it was consider the freest state in the country. Not anymore. I’m thinking of moving on.
Know how to tell if someone's moved in from California? They'll tell you in the first 10 seconds of meeting them.
