Nope, in EVERY case. That the Republicans would swallow the Orwellian newspeak Election Night 2000 color switcheroo without raising holy hell speaks to their being gutless wonders. I will say it and correct it every time it is willfully misapplied. RED is the color of the totalitarian left, the Communists, the Fascists, the Democrats. BLUE is the color of Conservatism.
Better to be dead than a RED.
I think you are reading too much into the red blue reference. Context is everything in this case. Remember red is one of the colors of our flag. I don't think the red stripes are stripes of communism. Again context is everything here.
But we can agree to disagree on the color thing but I'm with you that it does not seem to make sense
