100%... Republicans have been blue since the army of the republic and the RATS have been trying to shed their red roots for years, how they ever were allowed to appropriate/co-opt and corrupt blue for the RAT party is still beyond me

Oh my! The new hope of the Democrat Party – Socialist/Communist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was in Kansas City with Bernie Sanders and posted this message on Bernie Sanders’ Twitter Account. Notice, she says they are going to help Brent Welder “flip the seat RED.”
So, either she means Republican – or perhaps, Communist? . . .

Yes. That’s a little-known fact. And it’s remarkable how the left has taken control of the language. The one that bothers me the most is the word “progressive” for left-wingers.
The implication is clear. The opposite of progressive is regressive. So if you’re not a “progressive”, you’re a primitive, backwards-thinking individual.
I like seeing the Progressives tear off the mask to reveal the Communist lurking underneath.

>>Always felt the “Red” & “Blue” thing was backwards.
It is by design. When the first TV network did the red/blue map way back in the 70s, they chose blue for the Democrats just so people would not connect them to the Red Banner of International Communism.
I like the color red. I think I want to keep it.
Anyhow, REd for REpublican makes sense to most people so I doubt it's going to change.
Funny but thinking these people are to be laughed at could be very costly.
You bet your bippie you’re going to turn it red. Keep up the good work.
“Progressive” has been in use for some time, over a century. Henry Wallace, FDR’s 2nd Vice-President from 1941-45, helped found and ran on the Progressive Party ticket for President in 1948. It was a Soviet-sympathizer party (at the time, the Democrats were in a panic that with the Dems split three ways that year that GOP Gov. Dewey would waltz to victory, which didn’t happen because Dewey rested on his laurels while Truman was out working on the campaign trail neutralizing the split).
There of course were “Progressives” in the 1910s, although at that time, they were disgruntled left-wing Republicans as opposed to the 1940s disgruntled Communist/Socialist/pro-Soviet Democrats. But, yes, you’re absolutely right, the word is used to describe “forward/positive thinking”, and the opposition as, primitive. Of course, as always with the left, they’re the opposite of what they claim to be. One reason why I believe Satan is at the core of the left. Everything a great lie — up is down, down is up, right is wrong, wrong is right, etc.
Nope. Nobody asked us, it was foisted. Blue is the international color of the right. Always has been. Red is the very color of leftist totalitarianism. It’s all over their flags. Red China, Red North Korea, Nazi Germany, et al.
But no one wants to be associated with the third Primary Color, YELLOW.
Soon we will be like the chariot racers in Constantinople which led to the Nika Riots. Colors mattered.
That would be ALL of Lawrence, except my two friends and yes, even most of the academics in Manhattan, no longer fear admitting they are “socialist” anymore!
We need to define ‘progressive’ as someone chasing the next shiny object, leaving objective truth behind.
That's the problem with conservatives. They're always waiting for someone to ask their permission to do something.
Anyhow, I like red. And I like it even more when I see red all over the map of America on election night. I wouldn't lose much sleep over it.
Please utilize AOC as the keyword for all articles relating to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
by “red” I think she meant communist.
I find it as viscerally offensive as if someone took a dump on my head and told me it was chocolate pudding. I won’t acknowledge it and will not be labeled a totalitarian Communist Red thug. A “Red” map looks like a spreading Satanic cancer. I’m a “Blue” Conservative, plain and simple.
Stalinist Sandy and Larry David’s twin, they’re the Reds.
BTW, here’s a website that gets it “right” with the colors:

They fail to mention it was deliberate collusion on Election Day 2000.
