Blue state

Blue state refers to states in the United States of America where a majority votes for Democrats in presidential elections. They generally have liberal views on gun control, big government, taxation, regulation of business, human rights, homosexual rights, abortion, and crime.

Blue states are generally located in the northeast and on the west coast (left coast) of the United States.

In the Cold War era, Republican states were Blue states and Democrat states were Red states. In the post-Cold War era, the liberal media made the switch because of the Democrat Party's long association with Communist revolutionary Reds, and communism at that time was a highly discredited genocidal ideology, and blue is regarded as the color of tranquility.
