Wasn’t it 2000? The media suddenly flipped the colors?
No, in 2000 they continued the old tradition of using blue for the party of the incumbent President (whether running for re-election or not) and red for the party out of the White House. The change came after some idiot wrote a book about “red states” and “blue states” and the media glitterati all decided it was a great meme so they kept the GOP red and the ‘Rats blue in 2004, when the usage dating back to the dawn of color television would have swapped the colors.
I believe you’re right.
So, Enders Game sucked?
