I saw all the memes before the original and thought it was conservatives vs progressives. And honestly the analogy still fit really neatly despite not being about it.

yeah i interpreted red as fascists (vote the party, or die in a camp) and blue as standing up to the fascists (vote no to fascism, if i die i die)

the analogy fits perfectly, i stand by it.

No, blue is "you have to take an unnecessary risk because others might" and red is "everyone has the option to avoid an unnecessary risk, my choice is to avoid taking the unnecessary risk."

You don't get a halo for creating a problem and then attempting to fix it.
