A #PoliticalLanguage #Languages question

- In the US, blue is left of centre, & red right of centre, right up to the MAGAs.

-in the UK, it is red which is everything left of centre, & blue means conservative, up to (but possibly not including?) Fascism.

The same applies in French, Italian & German, I believe.
SO
- Is it correct to say that in Europe, red conveys leftist, & blue is associated with right wing groups?

-Is there a red/blue divide beyond Europe?

-How/why did the US diverge?

A very interesting discussion of the origin and spread of 'woke' as an insult word in this post's comments.
