Long ago the colors blue and red were used in political discourse to denote "right" or "conservative" bents and those commonly referred to as "left" or "progressive", respectively. Some of us will recall terms such as "true blue American" to denote a "good" American. A "red" mostly referred to a communist or socialist, and similar types of "bad" people.
Today the tables have been turned with "blue", a cool and calm color, is associated with the "left" and hot red, the "right".
I find it interesting that this inversion has occurred. But to what end? I suspect there is a cognitive scientific reason behind it - perhaps just as a matter of blurring lines that were once clear in the minds of most people.
What do you think?
Until next time, please accept my best wishes.
