I know. Vermont is already RED, as in communist. That is one reason which I think conservatives should be referred to as Blue and Liberals as Red—it’s more consistent that way.
It’s the media’s fault. They deliberately switched the colors on Election Night 2000 for the parties. Chillingly Orwellian. It’s on us to correct the willful mislabeling at every turn.
When the red and blue state terms first appeared on TV pubbie states were blue and dim states were red. We all thought that fit quite well. Especially since the Dim’s are marxists and anti-American. The next election cycle pubbie states were red and dim states were blue. It has been that way since. Coincidence? I don’t think so. Who runs the propaganda media?
“Vermont is already RED, as in communist. That is one reason which I think conservatives should be referred to as Blue and Liberals as Red—it’s more consistent that way.”
It used to be True Blue for Republicans and Red for democrats, but there were jokes about Red being appropriate for democrats and the media apparently got together, probably at the behest of democrats, and switched True Blue to the democrats and Red to the Republicans.
