The American Revolution 2.0; The Colour Version, By Charles Taylor (Florida)

The Substack article from Insight to Incite (by JD Hall, dated 29 January 2026) is titled "What Christians Should Know About the Color Revolution in America's Streets." It is written from a strongly conservative, evangelical Christian perspective that aligns with MAGA-style priorities — emphasizing law and order, border security, Romans 13 obedience to governing authorities when they restrain evil, criticism of institutional "sympathy" for resisters, and calls for decisive federal action (implicitly under a Trump-like administration). The threat is urgent:

"The goal is not a dramatic coup, but the slow paralysis of lawful state authority by making immigration enforcement politically, morally, and operationally impossible. This is not foreign-run, nor does it require a single command center. It is domestic, distributed, and method-driven. These methods have toppled governments across the globe, and now they are being executed by Americans against their own state. If allowed to succeed in Minnesota, they will be replicated nationwide. Christians, conservatives, and the federal government alike are now facing a reality they've long avoided: organized resistance does not dissolve through restraint. It escalates until it is confronted. What comes next will not be clean, painless, or optional; but it will be inevitable."

The piece frames current unrest (focused on events in Minnesota tied to resistance against immigration enforcement, likely mass deportations or ICE operations in 2026 context) not as spontaneous protests but as a sophisticated, domestic "Colour Revolution" — a non-kinetic, gray-zone insurgency adapted from global tactics and refined through BLM-era networks. The author describes it as a coordinated effort by the radical Left to paralyse lawful state authority through:

Narrative control and moral framing (portraying enforcement as oppression).

Parallel infrastructure (encrypted networks, distributed leadership, specialised roles like legal observers and media amplifiers).

Escalation tactics that exploit law enforcement restraint, provoke overreactions, and treat casualties as strategic wins.

Institutional complicity from local officials who obstruct federal efforts.

The thesis is that this isn't aiming for a dramatic coup, but slow paralysis of immigration enforcement (and by extension, lawful governance), making it politically, morally, and operationally impossible. If successful in one place like Minnesota, it will spread to major cities nationwide (Dallas, Houston, LA, etc.), driven by local activists rather than "bused-in" outsiders.

On the "revolt of the radical Left": The author portrays it as organised, disciplined revolutionary resistance — not chaotic mobs but insurgent cells using asymmetry, optics, and persistence. It's not foreign-directed but homegrown, building on prior movements, with redundancy to survive crackdowns.

How it ends badly for all

For the resisters/radical Left: If unchecked initially, escalation is inevitable. Leaks (e.g., "Signal Gate" exposing chats, possibly via government backdoors) strip deniability, accelerate confrontation, and justify harsher measures. The movement hardens but ultimately faces dismantling — arrests, neutralisation of networks, and violent showdowns.

For conservatives/Christians/government: Restraint is misinterpreted as weakness, emboldening further escalation. Delayed action makes enforcement more contested and violent. "That's when things get violent. Very, very violent." Mass deportations or restoring order can't be "humane" illusions; they require tough, confrontational measures, including against sympathetic officials. Christians who cite Romans 13 for order but shrink from uncomfortable enforcement are hypocritical.

Broader society: No clean outcomes — prolonged paralysis erodes authority, leads to harsher crackdowns, potential cycles of violence, and moral compromise for all sides. The author urges Christians to "brace" and decide their stance ahead: no neutrality, as states don't negotiate forever; confrontation or collapse.

The tone is urgent, analytical (drawing on open-source intel patterns), and unapologetic — critiquing conservative hand-wringing, media misframing, and Christian avoidance of hard realities. It ends with a call for Christians to accept this as their moral problem, stop pretending otherwise, and prepare for escalation.

Overall, it's a warning essay: the radical Left's revolt is real, organised, and escalating; ignoring or restraining too long ends in widespread violence and loss for everyone involved, but decisive confrontation (rooted in biblical order) is the only path to resolution.
