• The Psychological Warfare of Politics: What is in a Color?

    During the revolutionary war, the British wore red uniforms. Thus they were called Red Coats. The Colonialists wore blue uniforms (those that could afford them). In the Civil War the northern armies wore blue uniforms. Southerners (those defending slavery: predominately Democrats) called them Blue Bellies. However, the main battle flag for the southern armies was a Red flag called The Star and Bars. A flag of controversy in the modern era.

    The flag for the National Socialist Party of Germany (Fascists) was Red. The Soviet Union and the Chinese Communist flags are Red. Which political party espouses Communist, Fascist, and /or Socialist philosophies? Which political party defended slavery, segregation, and uses the racism they invented and practice as a wedge issue every election?

    Like everything coming from the major media outlets and many political corners, up is down, and down is up. So it is with the assigned colors of political association. Red is Blue and Blue is Red.

    Democrats | Republicans: Why are Democrats blue and Republicans red?
    Red for Republicans and blue for Democrats was not standard until the election of 2000, when NYT and USA Today published their first full-colour election maps with that colour scheme. In fact, NBCs first ever election map on air in 1976 had bulbs that turned red for Democrat-won states and blue for Republican, based on Britains colour scheme where red denoted liberal parties.
