>> Do you live in a “Red” state...or a “Blue” state? <<

The state where I live is definitely purple (a “swing” state), but my county is a hotbed of committed reds — that is, socialists, environmental wackos and other leftists.

[Osage Orange]

So....you do understand the term...Red State...Blue State.

>> So....you do understand the term...Red State...Blue State <<

What I understand is that the current popular usage is 180º out of phase. Completely backwards.

So as far as I’m concerned, a “red” state is one controlled by socialists or worse, while a “blue” state is controlled by the good guys.

If I recall correctly...GOP voting states were at one time in the MSM listed as "blue"....but that got changed.

Probably the RED's didn't want to be known..as RED'S.

Somebody here can tell me if I'm right or not.........

Yes, I believe you've stated natters with admirable exactitude!

And even more to the point, "red" has long been accepted internationally, not only in the USA, as the standard color for communists, socialists and other leftists.

>> but that got changed. Probably the RED's didn't want to be known..as RED'S. <<

Indeed. I think you're correct again! Dan Rather and his buddies in the MSM were very clever to pull the big switcheroo -- a psychological coup de guerre so to speak. It's just a crying shame that so many conservatives have naively and gullibly followed this leftwing trope, like so many Hamelin youngsters marching behind a Pied Piper.
