Backwards media newspeak colors. Red is totalitarian Communist, not blue.

I remember the networks used to give the Republicans blue and Democrats red on their maps on their election night coverage until 1992 I believe. I think the color red and its connection to communism were being associated with the Democrats by many American voters. I’m guessing that’s why their media propagandists switched the colors!

I remember years ago Ronald Reagan’s primary colors for campaigning was blue, and the Democrats were red. Right after Reagan, everyone switched colors on every television show about elections.

Psychology at work to cover up the original meaning of “Red.”

I'm old enough to remember when the colors were blue for republican and red for democrat. Somehow that got turned around in the seventies, 80s. I suspect it was because of the Democrat leftward turn and not wanting to have people associate the red color with the “red menace” of Communism. I do remember all the democrat red tinged flags and placards at their conventions.
