It's already happened. Colorado politics has already moved sufficiently from libertarian to leftist that I would no longer consider moving there.

It depends entirely on where in the state you are—the liberal places are mostly Denver, Fort Collins, and Boulder.

Colorado springs is one of the most conservative cities in America. In fact, I'd argue it's more libertarian than ever—hence the weed.

Sorry, but no. CS is uber conservative, but not remotely libertarian. They're fine with using the government to enforce morality, the antithesis of libertarian ideals. And the weed was definitely NOT driven by CS. The conservatives there think it's ruining their state.
Sorry, the antecedent of "it" was "colorado" there, not colorado springs.
