Democrats' Strategy for Color Revolution
There has been a noticeable change among Democrats over the past month, with a sense of resignation creeping in as many anticipate a Trump victory. However, some Democrats, such as Norman Eisen, have been preparing for this outcome for over a year. Eisen, a senior fellow at Brookings, former White House Ethics Czar under Obama, and Ambassador to Czechoslovakia during the "Velvet Revolution," has been a key player in the legal attacks on President Trump. He has now formed a new activist group, State Democracy Defenders Action (SDDA), which is preparing for a potential second Trump presidency.
Eisen's Influence and New Venture
Eisen has been at the forefront of the legal warfare against Trump for years. He was instrumental in Trump's first impeachment and co-founded the leftist non-profit, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington. He also played a leading role in the Democrats' pre-2020 election war games, which accurately predicted a contested election scenario that ended unfavorably for Trump. Eisen is also the author of the influential color revolution manual, The Democracy Playbook.
SDDA, Eisen's latest project, claims to bring together a bipartisan team of experts to safeguard democracy. The group plans to fight against election sabotage and autocracy by supporting criminal prosecutions and working with national, state, and local allies to defend free and fair elections. The group also hints at future civil unrest, stating that they aim to shape the long-term strategy to defeat autocracy in 2025 and beyond.
SDDA's Ten Principles
At the heart of SDDA's efforts are their ten principles, which, although seemingly harmless at first glance, reflect NeoCon, Never-Trump talking points, and Globalist goals. The group's first principle states their belief in the rule of law, followed by a declaration clearly aimed at Trump, stating that the country cannot be led by anyone who believes they are not accountable to the Constitution or who repeatedly violates civil and criminal statutes.
The group repeatedly references J6, Project 2025, and Autocracy, using these leftist dog whistles to express their concern about the rising autocratic movement in the United States. They claim this movement threatens American rights, prosperity, stability, and security.
SDDA's Strategy and Allies
Eisen's strategy often involves the use of public figures to propagate and publicize their ideas and agendas, while a more serious effort is mounted behind the scenes. Some of the key figures associated with Eisen's projects include Jennifer Rubin, Asha Rangappa, George Conway, Joe Walsh, Ruth Ben-Ghiat, Ty Cobb, John Dean, Heath Mayo, and Skye Perryman.
However, the real power lies with figures like Norm Ornstein of the American Enterprise Institute, Bill Kristol, David Frum of The Atlantic, Susan Corke, Robert Kagan, and Michael Podhorzer. Podhorzer, the former political director of the AFL-CIO and current Fellow at the Center for American Progress, is credited with being "The Architect" of Biden's win in 2020. He is also the founder of The Analyst Institute, which is considered the nerve center of the data-driven shift in Democratic campaign strategies.
The Role of Robert Kagan and Victoria Nuland
Robert Kagan, a Brookings Fellow like Eisen, recently resigned from the Washington Post after the paper refused to endorse Kamala Harris. Kagan has consistently worked to manipulate the country into multiple wars. His wife, Victoria Nuland, played a crucial role in overthrowing the legitimately elected government in Ukraine in 2014 and was involved in the RussiaGate controversy.
In November 2023, Kagan wrote a lengthy editorial in the Washington Post titled "A Trump dictatorship is increasingly inevitable. We should stop pretending." He suggested that a Trump win was all but inevitable and that Trump would rule as a ruthless dictator "unless something radical and unforeseen happens."
After resigning from the State Department, Nuland joined the Board of Directors at the National Endowment for Democracy, which is believed to be a CIA cut-out and a major driver in the censorship of Americans.
Collaboration with the No Dictators Declaration
SDDA has also collaborated closely with the No Dictators Declaration, a coalition organized by Senator Jamie Raskin, who recently stated his intention to lead an effort to refuse to certify Trump as president if Trump won the election. The declaration includes specific calls to reduce Trump’s ability to respond to any post-election domestic unrest or civil uprisings.
The declaration is designed to limit and neuter a Trump presidency and to cripple Trump’s ability to respond and follow through on his campaign promises.
The Insurrection Act and Potential Civil Unrest
There is a continual focus on restricting Trump’s use of the Insurrection Act, which authorizes the president to deploy military forces inside the United States to suppress rebellion or domestic violence or to enforce the law in certain situations. Several current and former officials have claimed that Trump will attempt to use military force.
The Time Magazine article on the 2020 election revealed that the Left controls the activities of groups like Antifa and Black Lives Matter. The article detailed how over 150 liberal groups had joined the "Protect the Results" coalition, with plans for post-election demonstrations to be activated via text message as soon as November 4. The trigger for these pre-planned riots was a Biden loss, not a "stolen election."
Eisen's Color Revolution Playbook
In his Color Revolution playbook, Eisen wrote that political opposition groups should form networks with other opposition groups, local electoral activists, civil society groups, and international organizations and actors. He also suggested the use of big data and AI in litigation to guide well-funded litigants.
Eisen's plans should be taken seriously, especially considering the chaos and widespread civil unrest that took place in 2020. If Trump is seen as a dictator, then in Eisen's eyes, those who support Trump are the "non-democratic actors" his group is targeting.
Bottom Line
The strategy and plans laid out by Eisen and his group are a clear indication of the lengths some Democrats are willing to go to challenge a potential Trump presidency. The use of legal warfare, public figures to propagate their ideas, and the control of activist groups are all part of a well-orchestrated plan. However, the question remains, will these tactics work, or will they further polarize an already divided nation? We would love to hear your thoughts on this matter.
