Tim Russert initiated the "Red v Blue" dichotomy in the USA. And since he was a (hidden) Commie, he used red for the "Republican" and blue for the "Democrat", to hide the nature of the Democrats. When of course everyone knows that the Democrats are evil Commies and therefore should be Red.
America was too naïve, and Tim Russert seemed like a nice, reasonable fellow. And so we did not see the sleight of hand. And so we accepted it.
The correct color for Democrats is Red. Because they are Communists. Filthy, evil Communists.
This is what happened.

I appreciate the goal of getting to the truth, and actually am pleased you brought it up.
Am I correct? Well I think I am. Would I bet my life on this? Well no. Too multivariate.
