Venezuelans who come to the US tend to be wealthier, in order to be able to get here, and have enough issues with their country in order to leave, issues that they will usually blame on the leadership.
None of this is to say Maduro has majority support, he doesn’t by most accounts, or that they don’t represent a sizable chunk of Venezuelans who don’t like Maduro, but that his support isn’t as non-existent over there as it is here.
It’d be like if Trump took over the US and you only got your views on what Americans think from expat communities in Canada. They would probably cheer his death, even if it was by a foreign empire, but that wouldn’t be representative of average Americans who probably wouldn’t like the foreign intervention, even if they don’t like Trump.
it’s also likely they know the formula: “show support not protest because protest will get you ICE’d.”
You don’t know Venezuelans if you think this way lol! Do you think Venezuelans with papers care about “getting ICE’d”?
I’m not saying Trump wouldn’t try this. I’m saying that your comment shows lack of context.
Edit: keep on with the downvotes. I know what I’m talking about lol!
where did i mention papers? ICE is detaining CITIZENS for crying out loud. Support for trump is support for fascism and genocide.
Again, you don’t know Venezuelans with papers, fascism or not.
amd neither do you. doesn’t change the facts about trump lol.
You guys are arguing different points.
ICE will deport anyone it wants, papers or not.
Venezuelians with papers apparently don’t give a shit if they get deported.
These aren’t mutually exclusive facts.
Lol, “a Venezuelan who was born and raised in Venezuela, lived among all kinds of fellow Venezuelan people, rich poor, decent, criminals, law abiding and opportunistic, selfless and egocentric, saw it fall in the hands of fascism, then moved to the U.S., got a Master’s degree, and had to take a U.S. civics test to become an American citizen, doesn’t know what he’s talking about”.
Sure, man.
I’ll say yes… Yes they do.
Trump has made it crystal clear that any non-white South American is subject to deportation on the whim of Steven Miller.
There’s 100 million Americans of latin/african/asian ancestry to deport, after all.
Lilywhite America is gonna want to stay the dominant group, any way - legal, moral or not - it can.
And again, you don’t know Venezuelans, since there are plenty of them who are Italian and Portuguese descendants, and they are as entitled as the white race they represent.
I’m telling you, man. I know what I’m talking about because I know my people. I have all the context.
Nobody cares if you know what you’re talking about. Support the narrative or shut your mouth.
Lol, yup, I definitely noticed this sentiment here. Oh well.
