The people who live in downtown Tallahassee sucking off the state government’s teat and federal “poverty” (money-house) programs appear to be the ones turning it blue.

I cant understand why so many have given up painting the Rats as REDs.That was their idea, propagated by their, well, propagandists in the LieStreamMedia.

Congressional districts are of basically equal population, and Democrats tend to roll up big margins in densely populated areas. So while voters have elected at least 244 Republican congressmen and probably will end up with at least 247 more than in any election since 1928 the map overstates their dominance. But it does tell us something about the geographic and cultural isolation of the core groups of the Democratic Party: gentry liberals and blacks.
IOW, the Demagogic Party is racist.

That was their idea, propagated by their, well, propagandists in the LieStreamMedia. I tend to agree. For some reason I remember the colors the other way around way back when and it seems like the switch was only recently made. I would guess the switch happened some time after the limousine 'Liberal' moniker came into fashion and the Left relabeled themselves 'Progressives' again.

Lost the Tallahassee area. I believe it usually goes democrat
As does Alachua County (Gainesville), Volusia County (Daytona Beach), and the southeast part of Florida.

Looks like that little southern corner of AZ may turn red now too.

Red areas stop feeding blue areas. Problem solved.

Ah yes, because there is a very low population, but each state gets at least one seat.

There is a message T-shirt in our local Tractor Supply:
“Farmers. Because SOMEBODY has to feed you people.”

You are 100% right, red and communism have been together for almost a century and the leftist media are deliberately using this for their agenda! Now if we could get Fox News to use these colors on their maps it would drive the left mad. Just looking at this map brings my stress down with hope that someday it would be a reality. Thanks for posting.

Republicans screw up Redundant.
To: C210N
Thank you ! I’m sick of looking at Communism identified as GOP. Democrats are the REDS.
To: C210N
What? Display the CommiecRATs as Reds? The left wing media won't approve of that. It wasn't accidental that they didn't use red for their commie brethren.

I would argue that the UK and some of western Europe would be blue and “disputed” would be CALIPHATE.
I very much doubt many of South and Central America would ally with the US or North America.
