 In the [[United States]], a '''red state''' is a state where a simple majority has voted for the [[Republican Party|Republican]] candidate in a presidential [[election]]. The term originates from the news networks, which during the [[2000 presidential election]] decided to agree on one color to represent the Republicans and one for the [[Democrat]]s in the states that the respective parties won in.
-The choice of red to represent the United States' major conservative-leaning party is a departure from the practice used in other countries (such as Canada and the United Kingdom), where red is the color of liberal-leaning parties (while blue is the color of conservative-leaning ones), but liberals in the United States did not want to be red so they would not be associated with [[communism]].{{citation needed}}

 In the [[Cold War]] era, Republican states were [[blue state]]s 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]] [[revolution]]ary Reds, and communism at that time was a highly discredited [[genocidal]] ideology, and Blue is regarded as the color of tranquility.

-Voters in red states are considered generally more [[conservative]] as a whole than voters in other states. People in red states generally consider themselves committed to conservative [[Christian]] [[morality]], [[abortion|pro-life]], [[family values]], economic self-sufficiency, and a desire to reduce the [[tax]] burden, be sufficiently armed for [[self-defense]], and reduce the degree of [[government]] intervention in their lives. This is opposed to, say, the liberal [[San Francisco values]] of the blue states. Red states are generally in the southern, western (except the Pacific coast), and midwestern [[United States]].  These states are also collectively known as the [[real America]].
