Yes, red is the color of creativity, invention, passion, energy, life.
Red is the historical color of leftism/fascism/totalitarianism. Red China. Nazi Germany. Soviet Union. The blood-stains of the millions tortured and murdered, and, indeed, billions of those oppressed, is reflected in that color.
That the media on election night 2000 willfully and shamelessly decided to foist an Orwellian newspeak switcheroo to cover up their own support for that evil ideology and foist it on their enemies, the Republicans, should’ve drawn howls of outrage from here to Mars. The color blue has always been the color of international Conservatism, the calm, rational and sane color that opposes the murderous insanity of the left.
To call yourself a proud Red shows utter ignorance and cognitive dissonance of reality on your part, sir. I find it viscerally and utterly offensive to the core of my being, and I reject it wholeheartedly. As the old refrain goes: Better dead than RED.
