    Sorry, I couldn’t parse an answer from your reply. What does it mean to “orange revolution” someone out of office?

        Yes, but the comment seemed to use orange revolution as something negative. Like it’s a backhanded trick. It wasn’t until I started reading Lemmy content that I even ran into people seriously saying the OR was a fraud pushed by the far-right in Ukraine.

        I can wait for the commenter to clarify.

          Well I don’t speak tankie either, and I think the revolution ousted a very pro russian government. Which would be a bad thing for a tankie.

            That’s why the reference was used negatively. Orange revolutions are something western democracies do to promote hegemony. Or some such tankie bs.
