One State, Two State, Red State, Blue State
Okay, so it used to be if you were a "red" it meant you were a "communist" and you were opposed to free enterprise and in favor of taking money from individuals to be redistributed to the people by the state. And if you were a "true blue American" you were in favor of free enterprise.
In the last Presidential election, the "red states" became the Republican Party and the "blue states" became the Democratic party.
Hmmm... why the switch?
