The color scheme is not historically accurate. Red was long been used to symbolize Marxism and the radical left, and now it’s applied to conservatives and Republicans. Can nothing be done to change this?

All through the time I was growing up, Republicans were usually blue, and Democrats were usually Red, up until the USA Today switched the colors with great fanfare a few elections ago.

Ever since, it’s been Red States vs. Blue States.

I blame USA Today.
