I don't remember anyone making a fuss about this when it happened, but it was so strange to see it changed. I thought they must be Broadcasting the wrong information on the Election night maps.
I kinda thought it had something to do with the Liberal communist RED color and their wanting to distance themselves from it.
Oh well, I suppose when the next Election night maps show the SEA of RED, they will want that color back. ROFL.
I think to be more accurate with the map the red states (for Reds) should have the old Soviet Union hammer and sickle symbol embedded within them. The Blue states should have the American flag within theirs.
I’ve been urging FReepers to start a concerted movement that we stop using the Orwellian newsspeak media terms for Republican/Conservative vs. Democrat. Red means one thing, and it ain’t Conservative.
