The classic use of the 'red' label was 'communist.' With the fall of the Soviet Union, 'red' came to mean 'Republican'. Eric is currently trying to associate 'red' with the planet Mars and aggressive militaristic behavior.

The three aren't totally unrelated...

But have we had another political position swap? Not so long ago, it was the usual game to call Republicans fascists and Democrats communist. Has the polarity changed somewhere along the line?

Labels, their meaning, and who assigns said meaning are often not worth bothering with.

But, no, I don't think the old classic 50s and 60s conservatives would appreciate the current generation in many respects.
