All the socialists retards are coming out to condemn what is happening in Venezuela, while all the Venezuelans are celebrating. The people who want us to turn into a socialist hell hole don't even know the reality inside Venezuela, while the Venezuelans will tell you don't try this shit. As someone who went there a few years to make a documentary, the devastation is no joke. It used to be the richest country in South America and what Chavez started and Maduro continued should be a HUGE warning to all of us. I saw families living on the street in Cucuta, a Colombian border town, doing anything to earn money to send home. Violent gangs controlled the import of goods into the country. Millions have fled the failed to state because they wanted to eat, with border countries absorbing them. I met successful people who fled the country when their life savings were wiped out through hyperinflation. Election after election has been stolen, politicians jailed and forded into exile. Journalists harassed, forced into exile too and murdered. Protestors shot at by the military. While Mauduro and his good gorged on steak, the people went hungry. We visited charities trying to feed hungry kids and mothers. We met pro-Maduro protestors sent onto the street in return for a basic basket of food (the same dependency we create here in the West with welfare). Friends had their businesses harassed, property stolen by the state and forced to escape or face prison. It is the natural end state for socialists - attacks on freedom, collapsed economy, hungry people, no free press, no free elections and violence from the state. It is the only way these socialists keep their bullshit alive. I am not here to argue the intentions of Trump, I imagine pretty much every Venezuelan would do an oil deal for freedom. All you socialists are really just dumb fucks and have never seen it up close. If you did, you wouldn't be a socialist.
