‘Color revolution’ comes home? Democrats target Trump with regime-change tactics
RT ^ | August 20, 2019

Congresswoman Ilhan Omar calling on Americans to “take back our democracy” by emulating Hong Kong protests is just the latest episode in Democrats’ slide towards “color revolution” tactics to get power they lost at the ballot box.

“Could we take back our democracy if 1.7 million Americans marched for it?” asked Omar (D-Minnesota) on Sunday, retweeting a video allegedly showing that many Hong Kongers on the march.

---snip---

The protests shaking the Chinese semi-autonomous territory began at the end of March, over a proposed extradition bill, but have continued long after it was withdrawn, with demonstrators carrying US and UK flags while demanding democracy, freedom and human rights. This has led the Chinese authorities and much of the public to believe the protests amount to Western-backed “color revolution.”

To Omar, however, the protesting Hong Kongers are just a prop: her actual target is US President Donald Trump. Nor is this the first time a Democrat has called for radical tactics to oust Trump. The self-styled “Resistance” has been at it from the moment he won the 2016 presidential election.

“Could we take back our democracy if 1.7 million Americans marched for it?”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I was one of 1.7 million in Washington D.C. 9/12/2009 trying to stop the Kenyan from Indonesia from turning our entire government against US.

What does she mean “OUR” democracy. She doesn’t even who who WE Americans are.

There is a key fact being omitted here: The Hong Kong people are protesting FOR freedom. Ilhan Omar is hoping enough leftists will rise up (violently) to impose a dictatorship.

One of the signs on Sept. 12, 2009 that I saw said, “We came unarmed, this time”

DJT could get the crowds for that. Omar could not. The whole squad couldn’t.

Exactly. We are not a democracy. We are a constitutional republic.

Politicians of both parties almost always erroneously call us a democracy.

She should probably be careful what she wishes for... once she gets out of the twin cities it’s a whole different world.

1.7 mil marching in Hong Kong (carrying US flags btw) must be damn close to unanimous. A unanimous turn out in any major s**thole city like NY, Chi, Detroit, Baltimore, San Fran
1) wouldn't happen and 2) would still represent a small fraction of the country.

The numbers aren't with you, to put it mildly
