Nah, I tend to think of Blue as “lacking oxygen,” “sickly” and “dying.” I like that Red was taken back from the left. Think of Red as rich with vitality.. forceful.. resolute.
Sorry, dude. I’m a Die Hard Blue Conservative. The Red color is the blood of the hundreds of millions of leftist totalitarianism: Communism, Naziism, “Liberalism.” The notion that it is in any way affiliated with the right is offensive and vile. Revisionist political correctness at its very worst, and it came straight from the Orwellian Leftist Groupthink Media.
That's a very interesting point that hadn't occurred to me.
Point of fact though, it wasn't taken back, it was assigned, so the democrats would not have to be associated with socialism and communism, and on the flip-side blue (which surveys show is the most named favorite color) was taken. The color of the sky, and the sea, associated with Al Gore and Hillary Clinton? How ghastly.
I propose for Republicans, red, white and blue. And for democrats, brown, the color of feces. NY, MA, IL, CA, MD and the like henceforth shall be known as "brown states".
