Running and relocating is actually a very viable answer. Stubbornness in and of it itself is not a virtue.

My first priority is protecting my family, period end of story. If I judge where I live to be unsafe for my family then I'm going to pack up and leave. If you were trying to raise kids in a gang-infested, drug-riddled neighborhood, would you say, "running and relocating isn't the answer" or would you get the hell out?

There's no valor in fighting hopelessly lost causes, sometimes you have to make a decision as to what's best for you and your family and move on. I'm not saying that Colorado is a lost cause, but making blanket statements that relocating is not an answer is absurd. It may not be for everyone, but it very well be the best choice for many.

People in the heavily blue areas are willingly electing people that are intentionally destroying the very fabric of society, and enabling outright evil. This is obvious, but the residents are voting for them anyways, they want this. Why would any sane person not relocate in this situation?

BTW, I'm in California (a very nice part of it fortunately) and was born and raised here. But once I retire we are getting the hell out as I have no intention of being governed by evil lunatics one day longer than needed.
