I know this is an old article, but you people are FNG crazy! Jerry Browns is a total scumbag POS and I'll jump for joy when he dies. He has totally killed the once great state of California. He called the taxpayers "freeloaders" for complaining about his huge car and gas tax hikes which supposedly funds road repairs. The money for that was already allocated and in the state coffers. But Brown the Clown, being the POS that he is wasted it on progressive BS like high-priced lawyers to keep criminal illegal parasites from being deported.
Our fragmenting is inevitable, and I don't think Russia wants to try and occupy us. Take back Ukraine and Georgia, and a few of the other former republics maybe, but I'm pretty sure Putin knows we're too big a bite to chew.
We've been reliably blue for the last 3 general elections and the Front Range is quite progressive. Historically, even the Republicans have been pretty centrist and not terribly socially conservative. Co Spgs is odd man out with their RNWJs along with a few of the mountain communities.
We're also very conscious that we are a tourist destination and have a reputation for being friendly and welcoming. We want our economy to grow and be robust, so even our religious nuts mostly know what butters their bread, so to speak.
Like California, we have our own energy industry (fossil fuel, but also manufacturing of wind turbines and other alternative energy projects. We have agriculture to feed us. Federal government is a big employment sector, so losing those jobs would hurt a lot. We're not as big as CA but we *might* be able to hold our own, particularly if people migrate here.
That's how my Dad was---fiscal conservative, social liberal. It's a good combination. Reagan tripling the national debt made Dad so mad he never voted Republican again.
Well, that might be true of the Mad Max/Walking Dead/Fallout post-apocalypse, but according to actual sociologists, it would actually be far more peaceful.
That being said, there would also be a very limited supply of ammo in a post-apocalypse. And good luck making your own, since you'd need mercury fulminate and either nitric and sulfuric acids or potassium nitrate and sulfur.
Yep. Deep red state here, and the fishing industry just realized there are going to be unintended consequences to voting for Trump when tariffs go into effect on salmon, halibut, pollack, etc., that sells to Asia.

I love this guy and glad I live here.

I don't know about Wilson, but I see Schwarzenegger as a RINO

Sounds like the Grabber in Chief has done gone and tugged on Supermans Jerry's cape.

For my own part, I wouldn't be able to resist mocking Donnie's poll numbers if I were him. But then, I'm mean like that.
Way to go, Mr Brown. You're the kind of leader America needs.
I'm up there every weekend! My mom lives just across the river from McIndoe Falls, VT, in Monroe, NH.
There goes Governor Moon Beam, being right about stuff again.

Also, who the fuck complains about someone being too laid back?!
True enough
