originally with the invention of color TV, I remember Blue represented Republicans...Red = Democrats...
When it became obvious Red= Communist it had to be changed....
another thing in a similar vane is Orwell's 1984....It used to be required reading in HS......That had to change with the new Federal indoctrination programs that took over the schools......
Sometimes the obvious hits too close to home for liberals
Yeah, that still bugs me as well. Red has been the color of Communism since it’s inception in the mid 1800s, and the media flipped color schemes to D-blue R-red in the 2000 election.
