I thought he was making another joke, like the "access/axis" one.
I saw so many misspellings of rogue vs rouge all over the internet, that I
have trouble figuring out whether any english-speaker is making a joke or
not. However, I'm quite certain very many people would miss the joke
entirely, if there is one...
The "red states" here are the ones that vote republican.
In much of Canadian politics, it's the other way around : red corresponds
to what would be called "democrats" in the USA. (There even used to be a
"Parti Rouge" like that, spelled like that), and there are multiple
"blue"-coloured parties with completely different opinions. Also, "red"
has been the colour of the USSR flag and of the PRC, so, it has communist
overtones... but the flag of Canada is quite red too. So, there are plenty
of ambiguous jokes one can make with the colours. I think that party
colour jokes are not very "in" at the moment.
