I think those seem like two separate and unrelated issues. Separate each of them into their own argument and they would probably make a little more sense, and fit the format better.

Example 1 (vaccine argument): red pill (lie) = people who are telling you they know everything about vaccines and they should be the ones who decide who gets what blue pill (truth) = big pharma is the real perpetrator, influencing policy makers and controlling who gets the vaccines (etc.)

Example 2 (gun control argument): red pill (lie) = people who know nothing about guns are trying to decide who can have them blue pill (truth) = the weapon industry is actually the ones dictating gun policy

Adjust the wording to fit whatever it is you are trying to say, and separate the issues into truth versus lie instead of red (republican) versus blue (democrat).

Seems like you're conflating red pill (lie) versus blue pill (truth) with red pill (Republican ideals) versus blue pill (Democrat ideals). Is this close to what the idea is trying for? If so, that's probably the real reason people don't like what you've made, because it doesn't really fit the format of the original and thus doesn't really make much sense.
