I wish the Republicans would have objected when they made us switch our “color” from blue to red
***************
I share your concern. “they” didn’t make us switch. The MSM made the change on their own, during the 2000 election.
Red has traditionally been used as the color of socialism. From Wikipedia: “Before the 1996 presidential election, the traditional color-coding scheme was often “Blue for Republican, Red for Democrat,”[7] in line with European associations, where red is used for left-leaning parties, and blue for the right.[8]”
I’m old enough to remember the phrase, “Better dead than Red (Communist). My generation and those older than me really have problems with conservative Americans being painted with the color red.
The MSM changes the meaning of words and morphs things to promote the socialist cause. We watched the word gay twisted into something that has nothing to do with happiness. We watched the rainbow (God’s covenant to never destroy the world by flood again) morph into a symbol of sinfulness. We watch the Republican Party which has fought for minority right be labeled as anti-Black, anti-Asian, and Anti-Hispanic.
It’s like the old Outer Limits opening of:
“For the next hour, sit quietly and we will control all that you see and hear. We repeat: there is nothing wrong with your television set. You are about to participate in a great adventure. You are about to experience the awe and mystery which reaches from the inner mind to – The Outer Limits.”
The MSM has controlled the narrative for ages. Their control is slipping now, but they will fight to retain power over the narrative.
Have always felt the same way. Was furious.
