(160,515 posts)They are the ones who will choose their own President. They made the decision they will not be going back to the past after Carlos Andres Perez called out his military to massacre poor people reacting to his savage attacks on them through vicious price hikes which left them even more stranded and helpless.
You can find all kinds of images of that time in 1989, El Caracazo massacre, after which the vast majority decided they couldn't allow anything like this to happen again.
I was surprised to learn, after reading more about it, that Carlos Andres Perez, even after impeachment, continued to be a hero of the right-wing elites in Venezuela, and he continued to rail on at Hugo Chavez from his home with his mistress in Miami. He called for Hugo Chavez to be shot down in the streets "like a dog."'
One typical, grotesque steaming pile of poo, a real Venezuelan oligarch revered and beloved by the very small wealthy class in the country.
We went through the years of constant attacks here on Hugo Chavez, and noted, with no surprise whatsoever, the right-wing maggots started their new hate campaign on Maduro before Hugo Chavez had even died.
All the hate in the world from the right, all the malice, all the treachery, until they get their tyrants in place and start killing off everyone who doesn't take a beating and keeping his mouth shut about it.
