I agree completely. The color red has long represented Communism and its equally evil twin, Fascism. I grew up in the era of "...better dead than red..." but the lamestream media, buckling under to their Marxist masters, foisted this outlandish color scheme on us. Somewhere Noam Chomsky is fiendishly grinning at the mockery.
I think the political map would more reflect reality if the 2 colors were Blue and Gray, not Blue and Red.
