There is something I never understood: Why is the GOP red and Democrats blue?
Blue is a conservative colour while Red is more liberal and communist.
It doesnt make sense. It should be the other way

Man, that is a quality question. It's like you boys are putting it on the next level.
Until recently the colors were similar to other countries, blue for GOP, red for Dems. The parties themselves didn't use colors very much (remember when color printers and the internet were fancy and uncommon?) but TV and newspapers used the colors for election results.
During the 2000 election, CNN inverted the colors early in the campaign, possibly by accident at first, but they stuck with it and everyone else switched over to follow.
That's it. Tv news made a mistake and it stuck.

Thanks. Ive been a lifelong follower of this party since March but there are still some parts that slip up
Because colours are colours you thick fuck. Wearing a red shirt does not make me more likely to be communist.

The color coding we're familiar with today didn't stick until the iconic (and extremely lengthy) election of 2000, when The New York Times and USA Today published their first full-color election maps. The Times spread used red for Republicans because "red begins with r, Republican begins with r," said the senior graphics editor Archie Tse, "it was a more natural association."

Only a low intelligence person feels it necessary to argue about something so pathetic and arbitrary
