Republicans need to stop using red as their color (”red” states).
“Republicans need to stop using red as their color (red states).”

I never understood how Republicans got stuck with RED, and Dimocraps, Blue. I do not think that the Republican party had anything to do with it.
It should be just the opposite.
Maybe some FReeper knows the story.
“Republicans need to stop using red as their color (red states).”
The Red media did that (for obvious reasons); I’ve said before that we should just change it back (avoiding confusion by using “Red” - capital R - for Dem states).
Republicans didn’t choose red, the media did in more ways than one.
Up through Ronad Reagan's elections in 1980 & 1984, Republican states & victories were ALWAYS coded as blue and DemocRAT states were listed as red. However the media realized that red is always associated with communism, and in the transition to 1992 when the serial rapist & adulterer Bill Clinton ran against GHW Bush Sr, the partisan MSM media abruptly changed the colors and color coded the Republicans as RED and DemocRATs as BLUE. And apparently the Republicans said or did nothing about it, and that is how the colors for the two partys were reversed and altered.....by the liberal, socialist, partisan MSM.
I agree. Let's use WHITE. Just to piss them off.
