Nah. 'Commies' are red, and 'patriotic Americans' are true blue......

I always get confused by that. At election times the maps always seem
to show blue around the edges and red in the middle. However,
somehow that doesn't seem to match the political leanings

For some reason, the Democrats are associated with blue, and the
Republicans with red. The thing to remember is that the Democrats and
Conservatives are at about the same point on the political spectrum -
it's just that the same cannot be said of their respective opponennts!

A sad reflection. A generation ago, the Conservatives and Republicans
were quite closely aligned, as were their respective leaders. It was
very clear that one was getting what it said on the tin, whether one
liked that or not.
These days, both the contents and the packaging are all over the place.

That's because both major parties are fighting for the same ground. And as for
the Liberals...

That's just fighting for a ground that doesn't exist, so has no consequence.
