Sorry colorado.

Maybe you'll get lucky and we'll invade "discover" you.


New Mexico is the real tragedy. They don't have the close to 50/50 sanity/gun bullshit that colorado does. NM is pretty solidly blue.

All those scientists and brown people

Mexico might absorb them. Large spanish speaking population and hispanic and native american population.

You don't live in the mountains. No healthcare for you!



I think at least at this point in time mexican fascists are actually scarier than american fascists.

It's utterly perpexing to me how many hindrances there are to voting in the US. Over here I get a notification in the mail as a reminder, go to the polling station and show my ID - that's it. All you need is a place of residence. The homeless need to go the extra mile and register a few weeks beforehand, but that's not a huge obstacle imo.

It's not a bug, it's a feature.
