How close is the U.S. to a Color Revolution? Well, that depends on how you define it.
A Color Revolution is a type of irregular warfare that uses predominantly non-violent action to topple an existing government, usually through mass protests, demonstrations, and public displays of mass political defiance.
As opposed to the hard power of an insurgency — a violent, armed attempt by irregular forces to overthrow a government — these “popular” revolutions use soft power — social power — to resist, embarrass, frustrate, and undermine the legitimacy of a government and then force it from power.
It’s more than political warfare, but less than a military coup or armed revolution.
