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.

A lot of people in your country think things will be better under Trump. They're in for a rude awakening when they start shooting people opposed in the streets because they simply do not care about you as a people.

Don’t worry, this is the United States in the death throes of its imperial supremacy. We are flaming out.

What do you think the Acting President of Venezuela Delcy Rodríguez (who served as Maduro’s Vice President)? Do you think she would do a better job than Maduro? With her running the country now, is there any hope for a less corrupt regime in Venezuela? I think there is.

so, do you still think this is "far from improving", now that hundreds of political prisoners are being released en masse and torture centers are being shut down? do you really think the purpose of military patrols was to prevent looting??
