Is America Heading Towards A Color Revolution?

An article in the Blaze Media claims that America is in serious trouble: “There are seven conditions that must be met for a color revolution to successfully topple a government, and it all must revolve around a national election.” America is heading into an important election, an election that will determine just what kind of a country America is. 

Since this is such a central election, we should all understand exactly what a color revolution is and why they take place during national elections. Wikipediaa provided the following information. 

The Colour revolutions (sometimes coloured revolutions) were a series of often non-violent protests and accompanying (attempted or successful) changes of government and society that took place in post-Soviet states (particularly Belarus, Georgia, Ukraine, and Kyrgyzstan) and the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia during the early 21^st century. The aim of the colour revolutions was to establish Western-style liberal democracies. They were primarily triggered by election results widely viewed as falsified. The colour revolutions were marked by the usage of the internet as a method of communication, as well as a strong role of non-governmental organizations in the protests.

Some of these movements have been successful in their goal of removing the government, such as the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia’s Bulldozer Revolution (2000), Georgia’s Rose Revolution (2003), Ukraine’s Orange Revolution (2004) and Kyrgyzstan’s Tulip Revolution (2005). They have been described by political scientists Valerie Jan Bunce and Seva Gunitsky as a “wave of democracy” between the Revolutions of 1989 and the 2010-2012 Arab Spring.

Russia and China have accused the United States of orchestrating these revolutions to expand it influence.

According to Glenn Beck, America “currently meet(s) all seven conditions,” just in time for a national election. Here are Beck’s seven conditions for a color revolution: 

The first condition is a “semi-autocratic regime.” “We’re not a fully autocratic regime, and that’s not what you need. You need a semi-autocratic regime,” Glenn explains.

The second condition is an “unpopular incumbent.” As Joe Biden’s disastrous polls reflect, we can definitely check that one off on the list.

The checklist goes on, with number three being a “united and organized opposition” and number four “an ability to quickly drive home the point that voting results were falsified,” which then begets number five: “media to inform people about the falsified vote.”

Number six is the “opposition capable of mobilizing thousands of demonstrators,” and last but not least, number seven is “divisions among the regime’s coercive forces,” which are military and police.

“They’ve got a fully united opposition; they’re prepared to drive home the point that the election was illegitimate. Hillary Clinton has been saying that just about every week since 2016,” Glenn says.

“Listen to the media; they’re already planting the seeds again,” he adds. “It’s never been more biased.”
