No question about it. The pathological liars in the TV networks deliberately reversed the traditional color scheme, and presumably they did so because they thought it would benefit the Democrats.

Red has long been the color of Communists and other revolutionaries. Blue has long been the color of conservatives. Red is emotionally hot and angry, blue is soothing and loyal.

I would have changed it back then. Can it still be done now? I don’t know. Certainly it SHOULD be done. As George Orwell was among the first to observe, these leftists achieve their propaganda victories in part by continually monkeying with the language. And color symbolism is a kind of language.

I am constantly aware of that kind of trickery. It’s really too bad that conservatives let themselves be conned into accepting this reversal.

Because Conservatives allow themselves to be bullied and defined by our leftist opponents, always on defense. We need to go on aggressive offense and respond in kind — they need to be defined by US... as authentic Reds.
