Democrats in the U.S. pretend to be the defenders of democracy, but if it means opposing Trump, they’re more than willing to tacitly defend the regime of a despot like Maduro. The now-former Venezuelan leader maintained power by making a mockery of elections, like the 2024 contest he claimed to win even as exit polls showed the opposition taking 70 percent of the vote, as USA Today reported.
Machado’s trumpeting of “popular sovereignty” was a call for actual democracy — one now possible in Venezuela thanks to Trump’s action.
