In the non realistic fever dream of States seceding I always felt Colorado would get shafted since it struck in the middle of the US.

  • California, Oregon, Washington are fine since they have the Pacific Ocean.
  • Minnesota, Michigan, maybe Wisconsin all share a border with Canada to the North.
  • New York and many of the North East States either border Canada or the Atlantic Ocean.
  • Colorado borders all Deep Red States and New Mexico.

Either they would have to convince Arizona or convince Wyoming or Montana... (and they don't have to take all of it, just enough to be contiguous and form a border with Canada)

AZ is easy. Az would be a blue state if it wasn’t for all the snowbirds.

I find that hard to believe. We lost AZ by over 5 points in 2024, it wasn’t that close

Dem Gov and both senators picked by AZ voters. Snowbirds and retiree’s and possibly some vote manipulation to get the state to go Trump
