What Happens When A State Goes From Red To Blue

I got this from a Facebook post. It's spot on...

We are going to add our own thoughts to each of these. I'll indent our part.

An Open Letter to the Citizens of Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Arizona:

Boy, did you just screw up big time.

If your state just went all blue, listen to me. This isn't just a political shift; it is an absolute dismantling of the things you take for granted.

I used to love calling Colorado home. But after watching a radical blue trifecta take total control, I don't recognize my own state anymore.

Here is the ultimate warning from the front lines of Colorado - the 10 things you can expect when the radical left takes absolute control:

1. Your Second Amendment Rights Will Be Systematically Dismantled

They won't just pass one gun law; they will pass a relentless barrage of them. In Colorado, we have been buried under a mountain of restrictions - from a strict "permit-to-purchase" system to bans on standard-capacity magazines.

The radical left doesn't care about the Constitution. Organizations like the Mountain States Legal Foundation have had to sue the state just to fight back against laws like SB25-003, which explicitly treats young, law-abiding adults as second-class citizens. Even the U.S. Department of Justice had to step in and sue Colorado for passing unconstitutional weapons and magazine bans.

This is common because 100% of Democrats support the Globalization agenda of which a key part is pushing in Communism. But they know the citizens absolutely will not allow this under any circumstances, so they need to disarm us prior to this.

And if it's not Communism then it'll be Islam taking over America, which the Democrats also support. They've imported millions of Muslims into America who want to take over America to convert it to Islam like they've done to many other countries and then force in Sharia law. Again, the citizens will not allow this so again they know they must disarm the citizens.

2. Taxes at Every Turn (Good luck affording your home or business)

They will nickel-and-dime you until you are priced out of the state you love. Colorado progressives successfully killed our flat tax system by passing Amendment 87, replacing it with a graduated income tax that aggressively targets businesses and top earners. On top of that, skyrocketing property valuations and sneaky legislative workarounds have sent property taxes through the roof, with some homeowners seeing bill spikes of over 13% in a single year without single change to their property. It is making it nearly impossible for seniors to stay in their homes or for local shops to keep their doors open.

True. And they'll likely start aggressively pushing the Climate Change narrative to justify taxing numerous things... all in the name of climate change, you know.

You'll see taxes on top of taxes. Just look at states like NY, CA, WA & other deep blue states to get an idea of what they'll tax. It's going to get expensive.

And they'll also massively increase their spending well past the amount of taxes they receive. In part, that's so if it ever turns Red again they'll be forced to continue with taxes because they won't have a choice.

And finally, whatever excess money the state has will be completely wiped out in excess spending. They want the state dependent upon the Federal Government so a Democrat Federal Government can force them into compliance to follow their agenda like not working with ICE should it ever turn Red again.

They do not want the state to ever be able to be independent of the Federal Government ever again so they can maintain control over the state. 

3. Total Disregard for the Constitution

When progressives have a trifecta, they do not care if a law is legal - they only care about the agenda. They will pass unconstitutional laws over and over again, forcing conservative groups to spend millions fighting them in court.

Colorado has become a repeat offender at the U.S. Supreme Court, losing case after case. From trying to kick political opponents off the ballot (Trump v. Anderson) to weaponizing anti-discrimination laws against religious business owners (303 Creative and Masterpiece Cakeshop), they will gladly violate your First and Second Amendment rights and let the courts sort it out years later.

In Washington State, they used the far left WA State Supreme Court to weld their power. When the citizens voted for reasonably priced vehicle tags, the liberal legislature in WA took that to the Supreme Court and had it removed so they could continue charging HIGH vehicle tag renewals. It's ridiculous.

Then there's the 2nd Amendment. WA actually has a stronger constitution for the 2nd Amendment than the federal governments constitution. Where the USA Constitution says "Shall not be infringed", WA's constitution says, "Shall not be impaired". Impaired is a strong word than infringed.

Yet, WA's far left Supreme Court with "activist" judges has upheld the ban on ALL semi-automatic rifles and shotguns, the ban on magazines over 10 bullets, and will certainly uphold WA's "permit to purchase" scheme turning a constitutional right into a "fee based privilege".

WA has also consistently gone against the USA Constitution.

4. The Attack on the Family: Pitting Kids Against Parents

This is the most sinister part. A blue trifecta believes the state, not the parents, owns your children. Colorado lawmakers have pushed a radical social agenda that explicitly shields schools and medical professionals who transition minors or provide life-altering procedures behind parents' backs. They label traditional Christian parents as "unsafe" if they don't conform to state-mandated gender ideology. They are actively trying to destroy the nuclear family by driving a wedge between children and their moms and dads.

Same with WA and other blue states.

5. Stripping Away Voter-Approved Laws When They Don't Like the Outcome

Even when citizens stand up and vote for common-sense measures, a progressive supermajority thinks they know better than you do. For example, Colorado voters just passed Propositions 134 and 135 to protect girls' sports and ban surgical gender procedures on minors. Immediately, Democratic leadership and Gov.-elect Phil Weiser threatened to use "legislative alteration" to rewrite, weaken, or block those measures before they can even take effect. Your vote literally does not matter to them if it goes against the party line.

I shared above how WA ended the voter approved lower vehicle tag price but the legislatures took this to the Supreme Court to have it thrown out.

6. Stealing and Re-routing Your Tax Refunds

If your state has a system designed to protect taxpayers from government overreach—like Colorado's landmark Taxpayer's Bill of Rights (TABOR) - expect it to be completely gutted. Progressives just passed Proposition NN, which permanently hijacks billions of dollars in TABOR tax refunds away from everyday citizens and funnels it directly into government spending programs. They will always find a loophole to keep your hard-earned money.

This is consistent in WA also, and other blue states. They "sell" you on a tax to go towards one thing, but then pass a new bill after the new tax is in place to have those dollars go somewhere else like one of the Democrats "pet projects" like supporting illegals in the state.

7. Anti-Business Regulations That Crush Small Shops

When Democrats gain total control, they force top-down mandates that treat small, family-owned shops like multi-billion-dollar corporations. They slap businesses with mandatory state-run paid leave payroll taxes, aggressive minimum wage hikes, and complex workplace rules. Conservative fiscal policy groups like the Common Sense Institute have tracked how Colorado's tax and regulatory competitiveness has collapsed nationwide due to these hostile policies.

Regulations and a high minimum wage are small & medium business destroyers.

8. Unrealistic Green Energy Mandates That Explode Utility Bills

The progressive climate agenda involves forcing power grids to transition to 100% renewable energy on highly compressed, artificial timelines. Energy policy experts have warned that prematurely shutting down reliable coal and natural gas plants dramatically increases household utility costs. Colorado families are facing unprecedented hikes on their monthly heating and electric bills while grid operators warn of instability during extreme winter freezes.

Climate change is like a god to Democrats. They worship it at the alter! That's because it gives them so much control and the ability to generate a lot of money from taxes and fees, all in the name of climate change.

9. Constant Disrespect for Basic Property Rights

From aggressive land-use mandates that strip local communities of their zoning rights to "just cause" eviction laws that favor squatters and deadbeat tenants over property owners, your rights as a property owner will be stripped away. They want the government to control how land is developed, who can live where, and how you manage your own investments.

Yup, this is a consistent thing in Blue States.

10. Out-of-Control Government Spending and Deficits

Despite raising taxes at every turn, a blue trifecta will spend money faster than they can collect it. They rapidly create new state bureaucracies, expand state welfare programs, and balloon the public sector. When the inevitable economic downturn hits, they won't cut spending; they will just come right back to the taxpayers demanding even more.

This will all happen at breakneck speed, far faster than it happened here. The newly emboldened radical socialists in your state house will pick up model legislation from other blue lunatic bastions like Colorado and California and drop them in whole cloth in their first session. The laser printers are already printing the new bills.

Their ultimate goal is to terraform your state so that it is inhospitable to common-sense human life forms like you. You will be forced to flee to protect your savings, your business, and your children.

It happened here. It will happen even faster to you and I just checked, we can’t all move to Tennessee at the same time.

I addressed this above under #2.

Now one from us...

11. Will Pass Election Laws To Make It Easier To Cheat

The objective is to make sure it never turns Red again. One of the first things they'll do is pass laws to mass mail ballots to everyone on the voter rolls in the name of "convenience". But what this really does is put hundreds of thousands of ballots, even millions in some states, out on the streets to be harvested.

They will end requiring to prove citizenship. Having a large number of illegals on the voter rolls means they can send out more ballots.

They will pass election laws to make it harder to audit elections.

They will pass election laws to protect those who cheat.

It's a consistent playbook when a state turns Blue. If they can pull this off, the likelihood of the state ever turning Red again is very slim!

Why Do Democrats Do All Of This?

It's all part of the agenda they're all following and supporting... The Globalization Agenda! And with this agenda comes their freedom ending Agenda 2030!

I've written about all of this to nauseum. I'm not going to repeat it here. Instead, I'm going to provide you with a link to all articles categorized under "Globalization": Globalization Articles.
