The Republicans / conservatives are LAZY voters. They must become activated to vote and to run! Many don’t run because the heat is enormous and they are busy working, feeding their families, and teaching their kids.
I read an excellent essay about what can happen with a “Rocky Mountain Heist” of apathetic voters. See freedomman.org/video/ro… (essay and the video).

Yes, the heat is enormous, and having run for City Council (and lost) back in 2018, it does consume your life. But other than the presidential election, it takes less than 5 minutes to vote, and maybe a few hours to research the ballot. I send a sample ballot out to dozens of people and post on social media. And even then people don't always vote. I will ask, did you vote? Oh shoot I forgot. Annoys the crap out of me.
Wow that essay sounds just like my town. Yes, Colorado is a sad case. We go skiing there every year and it used to be a great state. Western CO is still red, but thinly populated. Denver/Boulder/CO Springs areas are a lost cause. We used to spend a day in Denver, but not any more.
