I had no idea Colorado Springs had this history. I’d believe it in the Bible Belt and Utah but for whatever reason I thought of Colorado as being a more liberal state. Glad to hear it’s changing.

Former CO resident here, yeah. Most of the physical state is libertarian and/or conservative, but most of the people live in the Denver metro area.

I’ll confess I’ve only been to Denver a couple of times for work. Stayed downtown and it was fun.

I love Colorado, don't get me wrong. But Denver is to Colorado as Atlanta is to Georgia.

I'm not even sure what that means... and I'm originally from Denver and my sister's family has lived in Atlanta for 25 years.

Denver's no Boulder, but it's no Colorado Springs, either.

Basically, Denver metro area and Ft. Collins are highly progressive compared to most of the state

Most major cities are more liberal, while the more rural areas are conservative. I live in Ohio, our cities favor democrats while the rural areas are definitely republican.

That’s sad; I prefer nutters congregate in one location.

That movie Blackkklansman is based on real story.

It happened here in Springs.
