Both publications ran stories highlighting racial, gender, and sexual orientation divisions in the military in early September 2020.<ref>https://www.theatlantic.com/family/archive/2020/09/womens-military-friendships-are-unique-and-special/615991/<ref><ref>https://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/31/us/politics/marines-race-general.html</ref>

The first element of a successful color revolution, according to McFaul, is a semi-autocratic rather than fully-autocratic regime. This narrative about [[President Trump]] has been pervasive in the [[liberal media]] and echoed by prominent [[Democrat]]s since before he was elected. Despite all evidence to the contrary, President Trump is consistently painted as walking the line between [[constitutional]] order and [[authoritarianism]].  Over the Summer of 2020, Democrats and the [[fake news]] media resurfaced the narrative that President Trump will not accept the [[2020 presidential election]] results if [[Joe Biden]] wins.<ref>https://theintercept.com/2020/08/11/trump-november-2020-election/</ref>  They assert that he will refuse to concede and will have to be forced out of the [[White House]] if he loses the election.

According to McFaul, the second requirement is 'an unpopular incumbent'. [[The left]] uses [[identity politics]] to try and make President Trump unpopular with specific constituencies. "Peaceful Protests" are used to create an illusion there are hordes of citizens who oppose President Trump. The fake new [[mainstream media]] and Democrats try to frame the riots as “Trump’s America,” despite all the evidence the [[riot]]s are supported by Democrats in power and even financially supported by members of the [[2020 Biden campaign]].<ref>https://www.reuters.com/article/us-minneapolis-police-biden-bail/biden-staff-donate-to-group-that-pays-bail-in-riot-torn-minneapolis-idUSKBN2360SZ</ref>
