How did CNN get away with changing the party affiliation colors Democrats blue and Republicans red





The assignment of the words "Red" and "Blue" to Republicans and Democrats is by no means accidental.

I guess that elites were worried that even fools who they can trick into voting Democrat/Liberal/Progressive might catch on to the fact that they were voting for the descendants of Marx, Stalin, and Mao.

Jeeze. Not much blue there.

Guess the country is tired of being headed in the wrong direction under Barry and his Dems.

Lets hope th GOP doesn't drop the damned ball.

Why then does Foxnews use the current Red/Blue designation?

Are they in on it?

lol

5. Liberals/Progressives are great fans of European Social Democracies....and yearn to make America over in their image....

"The Progressives envision an ‘Administrative State’ that moves to solve social ills as they develop by expanding through the addition of unelected bureaucrats, czars, commissions and ‘experts,’ a la the European type of government.
Moreover, nearly all of the regulations imposed are devised by unelected civil servants and political appointees to whom Congress, undeniablyin breach of the Constitution’s separation of powers,has delegated legislative, executive, and judicial responsibilities;… what remains undecided within the administrative agencies is generally dealt with in courts unresponsive to the electorate."
https://www.hillsdale.edu/news/impri...he/default.asp


Yet....they want to keep it a secret from the electorate!

See...Europe has always used "red" for communists, socialsts....


6. Red is traditionally associated with socialism and communism. The oldest symbol of socialism (and, by extension, communism) is the Red Flag, which dates back to the revolutions of 1848. The colour red was chosen to represent the blood of the workers who died in the struggle against capitalism.

All major socialist and communist alliances and organisations – including the First,Second, and Third Internationals – used red as their official colour.

The association between the colour red and communism is particularly strong. Communists use red much more often and more extensively than other ideologies use their respective traditional colours.

§ In Europe and Latin America, red is also associated with parties ofsocial democracy, and often their allies within thelabour movement. Sometimes these parties use pink instead, as a "moderate" colour instead of the more "radical" red.

§ In the United States, since the year 2000, the mass media have associated red with the Republican Party, despite the fact that the Republican Party is a conservative-leaning party.

In a near-sweep of yesterday’s midterm elections, Republicans shifted the balance of power in the U.S. Senate, gaining at least seven seats, widened their majority in the House by at least 11 seats and defeated Democrats in 24 governor’s races.

[PoliticalChic]

Historically, politically, logically....there is no excuse for the Republicans accepting the nom de rue "red."




7. "The choice of colors in this divide is counter-intuitive to many international observers, as throughout the world, red is commonly the designated color for parties representing labor, socialist, and/or liberal interests[5][6], which in the United States would be more closely correlated with the Democratic Party.

Similarly, blue is used in these countries to depict conservative parties which in the case of the United States would be a color more suitable for the Republicans. For example, in Canada party colors are deeply ingrained and historic and have been unchanged during the Twentieth Century.Red states and blue states - Wikipedia the free encyclopedia



The assignment of the words "Red" and "Blue" to Republicans and Democrats is by no means accidental.

Instead, it is designed for the 'brain-washing' that has made the Left so successful with the less introspective...
Never let the great unwashed realize that they vote for the ideals of communism and socialism and fascism!




8. "The former system made more sense and was deliberately changed by media partisans who didn’t like to suggest Democrats should be associated with the color red....What’s a little more surprising, however, is how easily Republicans fell in line, apparently without realizing the reason they went from blue to red overnight. There’s even a Republican-leaning opinion site called RedState.com. How shortsighted and gullible can you get?

.... Reagan’s convictions were decidedly and unabashedly anti-red.

Democrats were at least soft on communism and socialism in the post JFK-LBJ world. Republicans tended to be anti-communist. It was all perfectly understandable, accurate and had both historical precedent to support it as well as contemporary parallels in other countries.

I propose to you it’s time we –real Americans, the rest of us – stopped being manipulated like this."
