Colorado flipped blue way before the current governor was a thing. Like 30 years ago, at least, is when it flipped. My dad' friend had a "Don't Californicate Colorado" bumper sticker in the 1970s, ffs.
The Californication of Colorado also screwed up the housing market there. Houses used to cost sub $100k before all the Californians moved there. But, since the Californian housing market has been way over priced, the Californians would sell their houses for hundreds of thousands, move to Colorado, and could over bid the locals, which jacked up the house prices, which quickly made houses shoot to well over $100k, and then over $200k, in just 10-20 years. This happened in the 90s and 00s.
Now, with inflation and the housing bubble, it's even worse, and it's everywhere.
In the 1970s, “don’t Californicate Colorado” wouldn’t necessarily have meant “don’t go left,” would it? It used to go right more often before Reagan gave amnesty to all those illegals.
