Dictator is a word the US uses to describe the overwhelmingly popular elected officials who somehow aren't ousted from office by US-backed candidates and CIA interference/influence campaigns.

I doubt Maduro could ever be that popular with the current state of the Venezuelan economy. And even taking into account the sanctions it'd take incredible incompetence to bring the Venezuelan economy down to it's current state.
