I notice there’s not a single Venezuelan referent among this group. Not a single Venezuelan person, t-shirt, cap, necklace, nothing. It’s the most colonialist gringo tankie group I’ve seen in a while.
I say this as a Venezuelan American born in Cambridge, MA: Fuck these tankies.
In front of The Boston Globe in Boston, Massachusetts (US), activists protest against the newspaper's lies about the Venezuelan reality and its complicity with U.S. imperialism, which is once again attempting to provoke a coup d'état in a Latin American country.

The only time Donald Trump ever mentions Venezuela these days, it’s to call Venezuelans criminals. He couldn’t care less about democracy in Venezuela.
Donald Trump: “Venezuela is right now being run by a dictator...If you look at Caracas, it was known for being a very dangerous city, and now it’s very safe... It’s safer than many of our cities.”

Chávez brought aggression, violence, humor, and a media-savvy personality to his presidency. He saturated TV airwaves & used Twitter daily to build his cult.

Actually no, Chávez was never a democrat, he was always a coup-plotter.
