Everyone knows
Communists are "
red", and
traditional Democrats are a shade of
pink, but what color are
Republicans? This node will attempt to explain.
Political philosophies are generally thought of as a
point on a
line. Allow me to demonstrate:
--------------------------------------------------------
^ ^ ^ ^
A B C D
A -
Communist
B -
Democrat
C -
Middle of the Roader
D -
Republican
X -
Independent Wait, there's no X! That's right. By their very nature, Independents can occur anywhere along this spectrum. So marking them in one spot would be plain old silly.
Colors are also plotted in a
one-dimensional fashion, sorted by
wavelength and
frequency. A simple plot follows:
384THz Frequency 769THz
780nm Wavelength 390nm
--------------------------------------------------------
^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
Red Orange Yellow Green Blue Violet
Given the previous assumption that
Communists are
Red, it is
trivial to examine the plots, and discover that
Republicans are clearly
Violet.
