Yeah. But those of us in CO are already depressed enough. You including us in this doesn’t help.

honestly, sorry! I didn't consider that. I just grabbed an old graphic in the interest of expediency

Imperfections make us human. Thank you Colorado and New Mexico! Hey when I typed New Mexico, the flag of Mexico popped up as a suggestion. That’s messed up and the powers that be better get it right. Good eggs all around.

That's why their license plates read, "NEW MEXICO USA"

I'm old enough to remember when geography was taught in school

I’m old enough to remember that in the 60s, 70s and 80s many people thought New Mexico was Mexico. I know because my husband was from New Mexico and it hit us with a special force.

Blaming education is not the answer.

If education were really good then, it would have taught that the US invaded Mexico and took most of what we now call the West from Mexico, including New Mexico and parts of Arizona, California and more.

We love CO. My mother was born and raised in Denver before moving to LA. Ex and I lived in Denver then I moved to Fort Collins after divorce. My husband and I met in FC and celebrated our 40th this past Jan. Jan 6th to be specific, a date we never fathomed would be a dark day 37 yrs after we said I do. 😫. I’m saddened to see Beetlejuice Boe Boe won in her new district and Adam Frisch did not win 😢.
