Battling the State is going to come first in the 'rat states.

I live in a "border" state and am planning to move to a more Conservative place to live out my life.

(I eschew the media given State Colors.)

I always wondered how the press decided to give the Communist states a blue color which is usually interpreted as representing honor or fidelity.

Instead they give the states which are more conservative, the Red for Communist color. Not a coincidence I guarantee you.
