Clip on youtube from either the 80 or
84 election—NBC News election coverage with Brokaw.Using the old
colors, it was a romp for Reagan:
“It is like a big swimming pool,
an ocean of blue...” And that was
evident early on.
The colors were correct up until Election Day 2000 when the media decided to disassociate the color of totalitarian Communism with the Demonrats and attach it to the GOP. No other country on the planet has “red” associated with the Conservative party (or “blue” with the left-wing). It’s absurd, offensive, and historically, morally and ethically wrong. That anyone on our side swallowed this disgusting and wrong mislabeling takes the cake. I will never use this Orwellian media newspeak slanderous color switcheroo cognitive dissonance.
