It didn't use to, the media switched them I think in the 70s. Republicans were Blue

Republicans were Blue. I think the media switched it in the 2000 election. I don't know why

Me too. I don't know how the Republican Party got labelled as red. What happened to "Better dead than red!"?

Red isn't the problem. It's when the red mingles with gold is when you need to worry... communism is afoot then.

Around the world, blue is associated with conservative parties and red with left wing parties. It was that way here until 2000 when all the networks except Fox flipped. Then the MSM started talking incessantly about red states and blue states and in the 2004 round, Fox caved. It's all media driven. Good is bad, truth is falsehood...red is blue.

Exactly. When Republicans were blue, you didn't hear "Red State / Blue State" talk in the media. Now because they talk about it so much, it will be hard to swap the colors back
