https://www.history.com/news/why-is-purple-considered-the-color-of-royalty
The color purple’s ties to kings and queens date back to ancient world, where it was prized for its bold hues and often reserved for the upper crust. The Persian king Cyrus adopted a purple tunic as his royal uniform, and some Roman emperors forbid their citizens from wearing purple clothing under penalty of death.

Clothes made from the dye were exorbitantly expensive - a pound of purple wool cost more than most people earned in a year - so they naturally became the calling card of the rich and powerful.

It surely couldn't be they are trying to send the message of unity red + blue = purple.

Nope, must be something cynical and divisive.

Who cares if your actual words & actions clearly show you don't care about unity...

Color coordinate your outfits to prove you know how to mix primary colors!  Yeah, that's the ticket!

Lol. That would great... if it were true. Everything they have said and done since the election has proven that that is not the case.

Blue + Red = Purple - Its a not so subtle reference to the fact that there's no difference between the two political parties since both are united in their values, to benefit the rich and powerful. There's been consensus for a while now

Yup. Roman thing. the purple dye was hard to extract and very expensive, hence for the elite. It came to signify those in power.

This.

They think they are the anointed ones, the rightful possessers of the Throne.

Purple differentiates them from us serfs.  A very UN-subtle message that THEY are in power now and you’d better not forget it — or else.

Since the days of the Byzantine Empire, purple was the color of kings/royalty.

It's also signifies a successful "purple revolution" that was initiated when Herr Hitlery and Bubba wore purple when Sunkist was inaugurated four years ago.

Friendly reminder that Hillary and company wore purple during her concession speech to Trump after the 2016 election. It's supposed to show unity among the Uni-party and Plutocrats.

Purple is a mix of blue and red (colors of both political parties) they are wearing it to show there has never actually been 2 sides. It’s all the same party in the end.
