  If you lived there you’d know it’s optics. They’re libertarian in Denver and Boulder and the rest of the state is red. There’s even sundown towns. You can smoke pot and marry your bro but you better both have beards and like fishing or else you’re getting fitted for the barbwire fence.

    Perhaps not famously, but Blue in presidential races and overall in the house since 2008.

    All the governors but two since 78

    2024 is showing signs of slowing or gerrymandering attempts.

      So it’s a purple state that has been shifting liberal. Which means…not famously liberal.
