Republicans used to use blue as their color in America. Somewhere along the way it switched and I agree with you on the red color being associated with China/communism. Someone will remember and come back here and remind us when the colors changed and why.
The R's and D's did not switch. That is the lame made up excuse given when we point out that it was the D's in the south that fought for slavery, for Jim Crow segregation laws and started the KKK.
I uploaded the image to catbox.moe and I got a 404. I tried an upload to imgur and got a completely different picture. If I was into conspiracy theories I would think someone did not like the picture!
So I posted it to a friend's website. It works for me now. Sorry for the inconvenience.
I suggest you read "Death of a Nation" by Dinesh. Deep dive into the other big lie : the party switch, and also the birth of the democrat party. There was no party switch, democrats were desperate to create space between them and slavery, plantation politics, and the KKK. Dinesh brings the receipts too. Good read.
My understanding has always been that Red use to equal Democrat and Blue equalled Republican. But the MSM caught on to the obvious association of Red with communism, and worked overtime to reverse the colors in public perception.
In 2000, the election was on hold and the MAP was on TV all the time....so some time after the elction, the networks standardized the colors and people started talked about red states and blue states.
Its all an illusion anyway. We now know that there is Uniparty consisting of both red and blue miscreants backed up by the deep state. Then there is the opposition - truthers / patriots / MAGA / America first, etc.
The late Tim Russert , NBC journalist, may have started the switch using Red for Republicans and Blue for Democrats. More can be read here (sorry for Wikipedia link) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Russert
The switch was exactly for the reason you cite. The Dems did not want to be associated with the color that represented communism, so the mockingbirds silently flipped the switch. The Republicans, to my recollection, did not complain, so it stuck.
You are exactly right. It was the MSM. Communist were the enemy was still fresh in everyone’s mind. And they were making great strides down the communist pathway. Tried to disassociate themselves from red.
The use of the colors red or blue in the two largest political parties in America is because the American flag is red, white and blue.
The color white cannot be used because it is a neutral color, so the Republican and Democratic parties chose those colors, since the Democratic Party was the first to be founded, they chose the color blue, and the Republicans because it was a party created later, they had than choose the color red.
The same thing happens with the word ''liberal'', being liberal in America means that you are a libetard leftist, but in Latin America being liberal was associated with having right-wing ideas.
I identify more orange than red right now, so 🤷♂️ 😂
Orange man RAD 😎
Ayup!

I don't know enough about US history, but I heard some saying the D's and the R's switched. Then again, I heard others say that that is not true...

This needs to be amplified. I talk about this with people who are receptive all the time. Doing my part to wake up the Urban dwellers I bump into...
Here, have a picture or two.
And have a "Racist Trump" as a bonus!
The first pic gives me a 404 error. Other two memes of the day...!
Is it working now? It did the same to me!

Its quite alright.

Yes, this.
Big lie : the party switch is an essential for any red pill kit.

This is a popular myth.
Which one of my sentences?
That the D's and the R's switched, or that they didn't?
That they switched.

Apparently red was assigned to the Republicans by the media in the not so distant past. It had more to do with color tv and the Bush/Gore election.
The only thing that switched was the colors representing Rs and Ds that ALL the network simultaneously switched in the 90's.
One election all the desks on the networks were blue for Dems all of a sudden and no one said a word why.
That's really weird...
Intentional it was the 90's. Bush Sr, Clinton, Bush Jr, Obama = NWO.
My understanding has always been that Red use to equal Democrat and Blue equalled Republican. But the MSM caught on to the obvious association of Red with communism, and worked overtime to reverse the colors in public perception.
In my entire life, and I'm approaching the 60's, red stood for communism/bolshevism. So it looks like the republicans have yet again been cheated...
The standardized red and blue only seems to date to the 2000 election. Prior to that each network/newspaper tended to use different colors.
Here's Clinton's winning map using red. https://web.archive.org/web/20061122124004/http://www.princeton.edu/~petehill/time-election-map-1996.jpg

Look here, not there.
I always wondered the same.

I remember when he died... right before Obummer was elected to office. Tim Russert died of a heart attack alone.
I always wondered if they took him out on purpose.
Thanks, very interesting, though it doesn't explain why the switch...
The switch was exactly for the reason you cite. The Dems did not want to be associated with the color that represented communism, so the mockingbirds silently flipped the switch. The Republicans, to my recollection, did not complain, so it stuck.
I seem to remember Rush Limbaugh explaining this.

The Confederate Flag was Red, maybe they wanted to reinforce mah Racism among the population. RINOs were probably involved too!
You're right.
They should switch back to how it used to be.
