The commies are red, you fools!

I have no respect for the world's most powerful nation if it can't even
get its colours straight. Watching the US TV coverage of the election
on cable, I realised all the US networks use red to indicate states
where the Republican party has a lead, and blue to show Democrat
states. That's ass-backwards, you fools! Everywhere else in the world,
the left is red and the right is blue! No wonder you drive on the wrong
side of the road, persist in using imperial units of measurement and
run the shoddiest election processes known to western democracy!
