question for the inhabitants of the U.S of A

If the democrats are coloured blue, and the republicans are red ... And if most rednecks are republicans, why aren't democrats known as blue necks?

    Actually, most Democrats can be from blue collar areas.  So, let's just say they are more civilized and don't need to color their necks and would  rather wear the shirt.

  • Red/republican blue/democrat is a very new concept.  Only in the past 10-15 years has the terminology been used.
    Redneck is an old term and has nothing to do with politics.    A redneck was a rural person from the southern flatlands where most people farmed.   You had hillbillies in the mountains and rednecks in flats. Now they are kinda lumped together but once upon a time they each  kinda used the terms against each other and at were at odds.
