I never have and will never use those words talking about the political sides? Why? Well here is the truth behind those colors.

In the 60's and 70's when color TV's came out to the general public the news shows on ABC, NBC and CBS (the only 3 channels available) Used red to color in the states won by democrats and blue to color in states won by republicans. There was no thought given to it ever in the media and it was never used to describe anything.

Well at some point in the late 80's or 90's conservatives started calling the dems communists and for good reason. We all know why. Your favorite communist media decided that red was not a good look for the dem communist party - it just made them look worse. So this gigantic media push was made. TV suddenly switch the colors on the maps and the media outlets flooded us with the terms "blue states" and "red states" so they we would all make sure to change that color pattern going forward.

You older people will recall all of this and some of you will know how this all went down. Just more media bullshit. The media and the commie left want us to use those terms thus I will never participate.

Like a typical liberal/communist you present a fact and they have no rebuttal to it and just run away and hide

Or they will say that is your opinion even if it is 100% proven to be the truth....

These people have nothing and are empty suits when challenged, they are not intelligent and know nothing but a headline

Glad to see others noticed this as well.

1980 was the last year the Dems were red. They didn't like being called what they are, "Red Commie Bastards."



Viewers who flipped between networks may have become confused as both ABC and CBS filled in the Republicans’ winning states with red and the Democrats with blue, while NBC stuck with its original scheme over the years. The thinking in some quarters was that red was too closely associated with leftist political movements, an image the Democratic Party was trying to shake.


“Communists were called reds and Democrats were accused of being too far left,” said Larry Sabato, director of the University of Virginia’s Center for Politics. “It reinforced the stereotype about Democrats that they didn’t want.”

In the 60's and 70's when color became an issue with street gangs, the L. A. Crips used the Blue color in the neighborhoods they controlled. The Color Red was used by the Bloods in their neighborhoods. There was no thought given to colors in the Media until a young Crip by the name of Barack YoMama decided to run for President. The Crips and Bloods born in America and being true american warriors got their color inspiration from the Red White and Blue in the USA flag. White supremacists chose the color white to identify their gang, duh, you older people know all this.

You older people also will recall all of this and some of you will know how this all went down. Just more media bullshit. The media and the commie left want us to stop being ignorant brainwashed haters but I will never participate. Also rainbows used to be Black and White before homosexuals took a Russian rocket into the sky and with funding from Sherman Williams painted our beautiful monochrome rainbows with colors, it's a fact cause rainbows are now gay too, duh everybody knows that.
