Sorry you don't have direct ties to Venezuela. Your wife does. And any information you have will be through the biased lens of someone else. If you're an American male, you're especially susceptible to the simp syndrome. I've seen it many times before. The "adopted" culture expert American white knight.

Venezuela is complicated. Its history and economy as a former European colony and banana republic make it so. Yours is just one side of it. Does your wife's experience suck atm? Sure. But Chávez and [b]Maduro were elected and idolized by many for specific reasons, and those reasons will only amplify if that group is squeezed out again.[/b] Democracy is a wonderful idea, but it didn't do anything for the marginalized groups before Chávez.

You all keep saying this and it's simply inaccurate. Maduro was NOT elected in the last election (and perhaps not before). In fact, he lost badly and kept himself in power. Trump tried this and failed, meanwhile Maduro succeeded and became an "elected President" to the rest of the world. Make it make sense. [/quote]
