Red is my favorite color, and it is just tragic that our perceived spectrum is as it is and I have to share my favorite color with the most abominable people in our current time due to a lack of colors in ''layman terms''.
But beyond my personal perception of the color, let's talk about actual historical facts before spewing the dreaded ''REPTILIAN'' bullshit that lack any sort of scientific evidence to keep this cause rational.
I said this because sadly some people already invoked that trash here in the comments. Regardless of your actual intention please focus on scientific factual evidence that lack any sort of religious zeal so that onlookers won't pass this as nonsense, wherever they might come from.
Onto facts, if you look at any mural or painting from the Byzantine Era, you will notice the nobles wearing red shoes or socks. It is basic protocol. The eastern and western Roman Empires both depicted their nobility with red footwear. It is a very important detail. And this almost ritualistic protocol made it's way to the red carpets of today.
It is not happenstance that the carpets of hollywood life and higher echelons of politics is red velvet carpets. We take these things for granted and not think about them, practices that were already settled before we were born. Even the duped politician or celebrity that suffer from illusions of grandeur might not be aware of it.
The Venetian envy ransacked Constantinople in 1205, looting and pillaging that gorgeous city, but they also tried to imitate their customs.
When they depicted their nobles in their murals with halos around their heads, they forgot one important detail. The red shoes and/or socks.
It was forgotten then, but I guess not now.
Red shoes and socks are nothing but a imitation of higher order, nobility and class. Which is by definition alien to any constitutional republic on earth. These guys are just telling you that they are above you. This is what this is in the historical context. Let that reptilian talk go please. Unless you have video footage evidence of people morphing into some other creature form. Which I can assure you. You don't.

We should all wear red shoes and make red shoes go viral and ruin it for them. And then laugh at them.
