A new article from The Denver Post (with predictable bias) breaks down the results of a Colorado Health Foundation poll claiming that ‘politics’ is the top problem in Colorado today. Surprise! Cost of living and housing squeeze in too—but the headline was made to twist the knife into conservatives. Written by a friendly journo from one of Colorado’s most progressive echo chambers.
The Bullet Point Brief
- A lefty foundation asked Coloradans what’s wrong—and shocker, they didn’t like the answers they got.
- Top problems cited: “Politics,” cost of living, and lack of affordable housing (aka everything blue policies touch).
- They blame ‘divisiveness’ in politics, but ignore who’s been running the whole damn state for 14+ years.
- The poll screams “Fear Trump!” while pretending progressive policies didn’t blow up your grocery bill and rent check.
- Politics ain’t the problem itself—it’s bad governance in politics, and we’ve got it in spades… with a donkey stamped on it.
My Bottom Line
Ah yes, another taxpayer-funded mood ring disguised as a polling report from an outfit that proudly leans so far left it might tip off the map. The Colorado Health Foundation—bless their biased little hearts—wants you to think “politics” is our biggest problem. But let me decode that for you without all the artisanal spin: what they really mean is Republicans are scary, Trump is a monster under every suburban bed, and we should all just shut up and submit to big-government saviors wrapped in rainbow flags.
Here’s reality: politics are Colorado’s biggest problem. But not because Twitter is mean or MAGA folks exist—the damn problem is we’ve had 14+ years of Democrat rule that’s taken our state from purple powerhouse to progressive playground. You’re choking under inflation? Blame green energy fantasies. Can’t find housing? Thank endless regulation and NIMBY bureaucrats more worried about climate justice than real people finding shelter. This isn’t a red vs. blue issue anymore—it’s an incompetence vs. common sense crisis.
Let me be clear: voters didn’t magically wake up mad at politics because social media told them to be. They’re pissed because everything costs more, feels less safe, and looks like San Francisco with altitude. If this poll wanted honesty, they’d admit what everyone really knows—the ones writing the rules created this dumpster fire, then handed us marshmallows.
