Studies have shown that even a random color assignment can dramatically affect how one person views another – based just on the other person’s randomly assigned color.

Psychologists took a group of children, and randomly assigned each child to wear either a blue t-shirt or a red t-shirt. The children were then asked to look at photographs of other people whom they had never met. The photographs depicted these other people wearing either a red shirt or a blue shirt.

The children in the study consistently attributed more positive characteristics to the photographed individuals wearing a shirt that matched the color of their own t-shirt. The study also demonstrated that the children were more likely to attribute negative characteristics to the photographed people when the photographed child wore a wearing a shirt of a different color.

Political Parties and the Constitution

The United States Constitution does not classify states by color. Nor does the Constitution assign, establish, or require political parties. There are no “red” states. There are no “blue” states. The Constitution contemplates only United States, and a government established by “We the People.”

Political parties can play important roles in the nation’s political processes. But political parties must never replace “We the People” in determining the course of  the nation.
