I don't get it. If this is in reference to US Politics (it almost always is), the right is red.

If it's in reference to 20th century communists, fair play.

If it's in reference to British soldiers of the 18th and 19th centuries, again fair play.

Ambiguity is the nemesis of fun.

Sounds like you found two ways to get it, and chose not to?

But anyway, there's no need for speculation if you familiarize yourself with the phrase: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Better_dead_than_red

Count again. 3 ways to get it. Including the way you've linked. My first one was correct.

Lol your first one was wrong, bud

Edit: and there were two ways to "get it," meaning "understand it," not three. That's quite a few comprehension errors in your effort to be critical of this post!
