    If you include Colorado (you should, it’s very blue at this point) then you also get all the nuclear weapons and major military bases! You get NOAA, USGS, BLM and more!

      Would you say it’s very blue? Was 54% for Harris in 2024, which is….blue, sure but not ‘very’ is it? Genuine question on that. However , looking at the map, it’s basically what I thought, Denver does a ton of work yanking it left, where most other places are garbage. Obvious exceptions like the college towns, ski towns, and interestingly I think grand junction? That surprises me a bit, are left. However, all those bases that are supposedly the gains for Canada in this scenario…. Are quite red.

        Any town in Colorado is pretty much blue. The red are from those living in the sticks. Even those barely voted red. Seeing how someone is saying we need to include Austin and Dallas in the map, then yeah Colorado (all of it) should definitely be on there.

      We make Colorado like West Berlin was during the Cold War.
