IMHO, that’s way, way over-analyzed!
Branding genius?
Just no.
Like I said before, democrats and Leftists are all about sophomoric symbolism as political action.
They are like children; adults who never grew up and faced the real world.
Protest, Love Trumps Hate, she won the popular vote, hands up, don’t shoot, wear purple, leave the country, all petulant talk from petulant people all the damn day long.
It used to make me mad, now I just laugh at them.
The “smartest woman in the world” ran one of the dumbest campaigns ever .... I was constantly amazed at the mistakes the campaign was making & praying it would all “add up” to a Hilly loss and it did. Of course, the Trump Train was on the right track and gathering steam .... don’t want to diminish the credit for the great campaign he ran. My point here is that ZeroHedge gives the Clintons credit for being very smart & I’m not so sure they are, especially after reading many Wikileaks emails that were written by those closest to the Clintons & were not complimentary.
Anyway, I posted this article because it stuck in my mind that he was talking at length about the color ‘purple’ angle (maybe it was a subtle shout out to Oprah??? - just joking here) & I’d not seen anyone else do that. I don’t think ZH ever drew all his ramblings in the article down to a very fine point (due to, as you succinctly described it, “over-analyzing”). I DO think that there are enough grieving, distraught Clintonistas/leftists who would take the “purple” that BOTH Hilly & Bill were wearing Nov. 9 & somehow continue the solidarity ‘trend’ or whatever the heck they think it is. Back in ‘the day’, after a year or so, purple (lavender shades) was a ‘mourning’ color ... maybe that’s the angle .... /sarc & /more over-analysis :-)
Purple, especially a particular shade of it, is my very favorite color & I hate to see the Leftists wearing it, for whatever reason.
