      It’s a “political compass meme”. More or less: Blue is Conservative (right-authoritarian), Yellow is AnCap/Libertarian (right-libertarian), Green is Anarchists or AnComs (left-libertarian) but functionally tends to be about radlibs, and the upper-left (left-authoritarian) is Red and denotes Communism/Socialism but is most often directed at internet MLs and internet Nazbols while being fairly ignorant of other sects of Marxism.

      The propenents of political compass theory tend to see revolutionary ideologies as being on a ‘spectrum’ with establishment ideologies rather than being in their own category, so they always tend to platform the sorts of leftists who’ve been rehabilitated by state propaganda.

      Blue state signifies democrat, which in no way means you’re safe from reactionary politics. The NYPD and the LAPD exist in blue states. California (a blue state) passed a ban on gay marriage 12 short years ago. The rich Christian Right will be bankrolling abortion ban ballot initiatives every election from now until they win.
