Wyoming Is The Epicenter Of America's Fake 'Red State' Problem
Shawn Fleetwood
America’s federalist system of government offers conservatives the most effective mechanism to fight the Biden administration’s increasing authoritarianism. But how can they do this if the Republicans they elect refuse to use it?
Throughout U.S. politics, Wyoming has garnered a reputation for being one of the most Republican-friendly states in the country. During the 2020 election, former President Donald Trump defeated Joe Biden in the Cowboy State by 43.3 points. Democrats haven’t won the state in a presidential contest since 1964, when Lyndon B. Johnson was the incumbent.
These factors would normally indicate that Wyoming is one of the most conservative jurisdictions in the country — but that simply isn’t the case. Despite controlling the governor’s mansion and possessing supermajorities in the state legislature, Wyoming Republicans are governing more like blue-collar Democrats than principled conservatives. In recent weeks, the GOP-dominated legislature has struck down numerous bills seeking to advance pro-freedom policies and prevent leftism from corrupting the state.
