00:00Every time the U.S. election, the media will represent the Republican Party and the Democratic Party with two colors, red and blue, and elephants and donkeys respectively.
00:06How did this consensus evolve?
00:08It's okay if you don't understand. It's no use if you understand.
00:10Just do it.
00:11In the history of the United States, the color has not been bound to a particular political party.
00:14Until the 2000 U.S. presidential election, Bush Jr. and the Gulf War,
00:18the TV stations of each family finally had a unified tone.
00:21The blue of the ruling party challenged the red.
00:23At that time, the ruling party was the Democratic Party, so it was marked blue.
00:26The Republican Party is red.
00:27Since then, the two colors have become the consensus of the mainstream media, representing the Republican Party and the Democratic Party respectively.
00:32And it continues to this day.
00:33As for donkeys and elephants, they represent the Democratic Party and the Republican Party respectively.
00:36It should be traced back to the comic book of American political cartoonist Nasut in 1874.
00:41He has repeatedly used elephants to symbolize the Republican Party,
00:43mocking them for being big and unscrupulous, conservative and stupid,
00:45and mocking the Democratic Party for being stupid and stupid with the image of a donkey.
00:48Later, the U.S. newspaper began to follow the trend.
00:50The image of elephants and donkeys continues like this.
00:53Do you know any interesting stories about the U.S. election?
