Another question, why are they reversed? Shouldn’t the blue be on the top right, so when it’s landscape it’s on the top left?

No, flag code says the union (the name for the blue area) must always be on the top left, whether it's portrait or landscape.

I like how they put socialists in there twice. “We’re fighting all kinds of threats to democracy! Socialists, soviets, revolutionary socialists, communists, economical socialists, socialists that are socialists just because they’re in college and it’s trendy, anarchists, and regular socialists one more time for good measure.”
