The people of Boulder need to remove their politicians.

Boulder is a small version of SF

GlobalUnity 46 points ago +47 / -1

Every single large town is now a small version of SF. It's like a real world version of a zombie apocalypse with liberal brain rot spreading, usually introduced by liberals dispersing from the hives they were in on the coasts.

Frankly though, at some point that is probably not easily specifically identifiable we crossed the point of no return, beyond which there was really nothing that could have been done to turn things around because it becomes a self-reinforcing negative feedback loop and with every passing day the effort and measures necessary to reverse things become exponentially more difficult and less likely.

That is to say that the only real option is to accelerate things in order to avoid the normalization of the subjugation and rather to shatter the whole system and at least having a chance of rebuilding from there.

Republican governors need to zone land use to contain cities and limit future development population density. This is the way.

I like this idea. Not just for liberals but also for dystopian urban sprawls. If you’ve ever been to LA it’s just city for miles and miles and miles. It’s fucking gross.

The best way to go about it would be the environmental route. Use preservation of nature as a means to get enough votes.

Isolated_Patriot 7 points ago +7 / -0

Unfortunately this is exactly what they do in Canada. You guys should look into just how bad it is up here for the property market and how much it's been used to infect 90% of the population with the belief that "nobody needs a large home with a yard, everyone should be renting in multi-family homes!" Seriously, this kind of the regulation is pretty much the heart of how Communism has spread so far up here.

spezisacuckold 3 points ago +3 / -0

I think you may have my idea backwards.

Take Connecticut for example.

In Fairfield County 89% of land is classified for residential zoning of over one acre. This ensures that housing developments are low density and they preserve the status quo political culture.

Now do that, but for a right wing political culture and at the state level.

The cities should have collapsed under their debt, but Wall Street and Congressional bailouts have delayed that.

4
SHALL_NOT 4 points ago +4 / -0

I like that angle. Conservatives don’t really need to be fed a reason to contain the cities. But libs will eat up environmental reasons. You can have the city, a ring of suburbs around it, then a ring of solar/wind power fields to put the city on renewable energy.

They’ll love that renewable shit, but it’s really our way of locking them in. No expanding beyond that shit and it ain’t moving.

GlobalUnity 2 points ago +2 / -0

I don't see that as a real solution. That changes nothing about the underlying issues. Unless you are literally containing cities and it's residents, like I said, they will simply leave once the consequences come due and they will then spread their mental illness, never learning anything.

If we wanted to actually have an impact, we would need to make all government spending a function of what you support and the cost of it following you all your life anywhere you go … so if you support all the spending in CA, you don't just get to sell your overpriced house and buy up everything in Texas sight-unseen and then start infesting that community with your degeneracy and profit from it all.

It really comes down to this like it always does, that the abusers profit while other pay the costs and until that is stopped … people are forced to pay for what they incur, NONE of this will end and it will always end in calamity.

Zoning is 1st step and more of a stopgap measure to just stop the national suicide Marxism ushers in.

Enacting statewide versions of the Electoral College wherein counties become “states” is a more permanent 2nd step.

1
GlobalUnity 1 point ago +1 / -0

Regarding your second step, it is really not necessary, we essentially already have that, it's only ignored. The state representatives are supposed to pick the electors for presidential election, NOT based on the popular vote, but based on the party that has the power in the state legislatures. THAT is how they have REALLY been stealing the presidency for decades now. There are SEVERAL states where the electors are given to the popular vote in the state, rather than being selected by the legislature that represent the districts of the states. It's essentially what you seem to be saying re. "Electoral college wherein counties become 'states'"

THAT is something that people need to realize that is both right there, ripe for the picking and really simple to the point that it would have prevented the outcome of this election as well as most Democratic wins for at least the last 40 years.

It's sometimes rather disheartening to see and realize that people on our side are just not on the ball with these things. All it would take is to identify how the electoral college was perverted in each state and how it can be changed back (some states made it a state constitutional amendment) and then attack the representatives and hold them to pledges to not vote to support the popular vote electoral slate that is a violation of the Constitution and disenfranchises their votes.

There should also be a concerted effort to organize a legal campaign against the system on those grounds.

Literally if they followed the Constitution, several States would have sent Republican electors … but they didn't and they just followed the popular vote and ignored the Constitution and screwed their constituents. THAT is why the state district representatives HAVE TO be pressured to hold them to the Constitutional slate of electors regardless of how the population votes for president. There's literally nothing in the constitution that requires state popular vote for President … you vote for your representative and THEY are supposed to vote for the electors.

It's a REALLY easy ripe ass fruit if people would just get what is going on and what was done to pervert the system that way.

I cannot understate just how huge this aspect is and just how frustrating it is that people don't see it. It's literally key to everything in many ways. Which is EXACTLY why the democrats want to get rid of the electoral college altogether, because they KNOW if our side starts understanding this, they are FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKT

Goldlight 1 point ago +1 / -0

I hate this but this is the only defense we have right now

what really needs to happen is either:

  1. states break up into counties
  2. rural parts of CA, etc. break off into NEW states
  3. special provision for large metropoles and their surrounding suburbs to become their own states (1 seems more probably)

thinking about it, I think we can utilize 1) more often, just need more political will...

Delphi Technique

2
GlobalUnity 2 points ago +2 / -0

I was wondering if that was the same delphi technique that I have come in contact with through the usual suspects at high levels of government … it is. I can't recall exactly all the notes I made about things then, but I recall rather clearly that my overwhelming sense was that it was essentially a successively narrowing echo chamber that amplified the wrong things in successive cycles. It wasn't really all that different than how the PCR test was misused and the excessive cycles were used to artificially amplify noise into "truth".

Barbs 1 point ago +1 / -0

You’re kinda correct. These types exist everywhere, they tend to come to places like California, where they congregate in large numbers.

California didn’t originate this disease, we’re simply the first victim to fall to it. If you look at emigration numbers, people have been flocking to California from other states since the 90s, which is about the same time our politics took a nosedive.

1
GlobalUnity 1 point ago +1 / -0

I agree, what we are really seeing here is more of a amplification or concentration of that disease that is likely to a large degree a kind of instinctual and primitive impulse; people who have things they don't value because they didn't have to produce or work to create, are always generous with giving that away because there is no immediate or even potential cost.

That applies to everything from the generally good CA climate to profligate attitude towards money, just like how a trust fund baby is quite often generous with their inheritance or a lottery winner is with theirs.

Things will only ever change when we reconnect costs to benefits … where you pay the costs for giving away your money and opportunities', not others'.

It absolutely is. I went to HS there, recently drove through it while visiting. Virtue signaling rainbow BLM signs all over, yet it is a complete upper elitist white bubble and has become even more so since I was in HS a long time ago. All of the trailer parks and low income housing at the edge of town have now been turned into yuppie college kid apartments, and of course they all have their special signs out.

They are just laying the groundwork to use preemption as a way to stop 2A Sanctuary Counties/Cities.

There are multiple gun control bills in the Colorado Assembly, and a ridiculous storage bill has already passed the house.

There is nothing good happening in Colorado politics.

15
BallsackPaneer 15 points ago +15 / -0

Storage legislation infringes on the right to BEAR arms. You cannot bear a gun against an intruder if the process to place it in your hand or against your chest takes more than a few seconds or is deeply intrusive.

We all know how long it takes for the cops to show up, even longer, or even at all if you're in a Peaceful Protest city.

They want us dead, that is all.

The 2nd Amendment pre-empts state laws and the wording of it makes that clear even in the absence of 14th amendment incorporation.

1st amendment says "CONGRESS shall pass no law"

2nd amendment says "SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED"

2
MasterOfIllusions 2 points ago +2 / -0

The whole point of 2A sanctuaries is "fuck you I won't do what you tell me." A law is not going to stop that.

If you want to talk about preemption, Colorado's state constitution specifically says that the right to keep and bear arms "shall not be questioned," which preempts any Colorado gun laws.

I was in the City Council meeting when they were drafting this ban. You can't imagine how mind-numbing it was to see all the middle-aged ladies wearing their red shirts and putting their fingers in the air like doing "air quotes" or "silent air clapping" with their fingertips every single time an anti-2a person spoke. The most passive-aggressive bullshit I've ever seen.

The lawyer was one who is famous from his progressive policies in Seattle.

The sheriff kept jumping up and saying things like "now if you define 'gun' in this way you'll be disarming the police, too" and stuff like that. HOURS and HOURS trying to delicately define "gun" in such a way that they could keep their own guns and disarm the citizens.

Then the City Counsel woman, a young lady named Erica if I remember correctly, got what she wanted and quite the City Counsel to go work for the Senator down the road. This was all a testing-bed for this legislation and refining the language, so it's not over yet.

Is there any legal precedent for the regulation of ammo?

“So you figured out how to circumnavigate our restrictions on pistol grips, magazine capacity and detachability, suppressors and select fire? How about we take away the ammo?”

I feel like that this will be the next move. Make ammo scarce and illegal to manufacture, sell or possess.

The AR-15 is nothing special. There are several semi-auto rifles that function much the same going back to the 1920's. Rifles with much better cartridges then the 5.56 mm. which isn't even legal for deer hunting, and is a enemic sub-caliber. The only reason the military uses it (M-16) is to reduce weight for Soldiers, and have a common cartridge with NATO. For years now the military has tried to improve that round and failed. They are now looking at dumping it for 6.8 mm, with a heavier bullet. Other then the fact that it "looks military", and is black seems to be why liberals hate it. In other words they are just plain racist.

A double edged sword there. The ruling is that only state or federal can prohibit firearms. Thus there is an undertone that the state or federal government CAN do such things. When in reality the ruling should be that the initial ban violated the Constitution and should have been thrown out on those grounds. This is how you win an inch but lose a mile.
