The US Attacked my country... (lemmy.world)

I don't care about Maduro, as far as I'm concerned, they can shoot him if they want. What matters to me is walking through the streets of my city and seeing the faces of fear on my neighbors. The military patrolling to prevent looting due to panic. It's a collective hangover, a horrible one.

It's 2016 all over again. It's seeing despair entering the circulatory system of all Venezuelans, only now it's more sudden, and we are painfully aware of it.

This is far from improving, and we know it.

I don't trust any of the Chavistas one bit, but the right thing to do would be to call elections. Our constitution states that, in the event of the absolute absence of the head of state, the vice president must call elections within 30 days.

But that would mean that the Chavistas would have to participate, and Trump has said that he will not allow the Chavistas to take power, Chavistas will NEVER give up power peacefully, so Delcy may take power de facto, which would put her in a much more tense situation in which it doesn't matter how corrupt she is, because: 1) It's unconstitutional, 2) The US would attack again.

So it doesn't matter.

Well I really hope Delcy gets to make Venezuela a bit more decentralized AND she imposes sanctions to the US in response to Maduro's deposition. Seriously!
