"the 2nd Amendment and amnesty for 40 million illegal aliens that will turn the US blue forever"

I'm gonna seriously choke somebody if I see this Election Night 2000 Orwellian newspeak color mislabeling used again. Communists are REDS, not blues. You've already lost the war when you use the LEFT's labeling of OUR side.

Yep. Prior to Election 2000 the major media always slowed GOP states in blue and Rat states in commie red. Dating back decades. Evidently after some media collusion the color designations were switched, and it’s remained that way ever since. At this point most people either don’t know, don’t remember, or don’t care.

Well Said!

I'm still perplexed at when and how that color flip came about. Although really I'm not. It came about when the wanna-be tyrant left decided that *red* wasn't working for them anymore, and so they flipped it around to hide their true agenda. Same with 'Liberal' and 'Progressive' ... the oppressive left co-opted those two terms also.

Heck, *I'm* a liberal, and also a progressive, in the truest sense of the words. The United States Constitution is one of the most liberal and progressive outlines of governance in the history of the world.

Everything about the left is tyranny, oppression, power, and death .. not necessarily in that order, but you get the gist.

Bigger things to worry about. Just roll with it.
