The people of Venezuela didn't consent to Maduro ruling over them either.

Only 32% of American voters consented to Trump ruling over them.

And that's about 98% too many after seeing his first stint.

36% of eligible voters didn't vote. So 68% of Americans either wanted Trump or didn't really care.

Absurd false equivalency.

Yes. Both what I say and you say can be true at once.

Reactionary Venezuelan political parties will run on a platform of "Kill all the native peoples and sell our national assets for pennies on the dollar to a foreign oil company", lose outside of a few major petrochemical enclaves, and then complain the election was stolen.

Why do American liberals think J6 is cool in every other country but their own?

What are you talking about? Maduro is the Trump of Venezuela, rigging elections and preventing opponents from running, like the most recent Nobel Prize winner. Just because Trump is against someone doesn't automatically make that person the complete opposite of Trump.

Both Trump and Maduro are gangsters. Gangsters often take out other gangsters so they can take control of their territory. When you see a mafia hit do you automatically assume the guy that got whacked must have been anti-mafia LOL?

Maduro is the Trump of Venezuela

I remember when liberals were claiming Bernie Sanders was the Trump of the Democratic Party.
