I was not familiar with the term color revolution until I saw this article from Paul Krugman. Granted, the No Kings Day marches were huge, spanning large and small cities, blue and red areas, young and old. The most famous of these uprisings was the 2004 Orange Revolution that brought democracy to Ukraine. Early in the second Trump administration it was clear that something like a color revolution was the only way to reverse the destruction of American democracy. And despite the massive turnout for the No Kings Day protests, it wasn’t clear if American patriots were tough enough, determined enough, to succeed where elites had failed.
