La gente nos culpa a los venezolanos y nos revictimiza por lo de Trump, perdón por estar alegre porque se llevaron a un tipo que se robó la presidencia, mato y desapareció gente y torturó de forma sistémica (y lo sigue haciendo), no está en mis planes sentir empatía por alguien así, no perdono dictadores eso que lo haga dios si quiere.
Ahora apartando eso, perdón que se los diga pero los que permitieron que Trump hiciera lo que hizo, fueron los líderes políticos a quienes tanto defienden, no fue que los ciudadanos de Venezuela le abrieron la puerta, no fue que Trump no advirtió lo que iba a hacer, fueron los líderes de LATAM quienes cuando pudieron evitarlo decidieron abstenerse, vayan y protestenle a ellos por inútiles.

I try to respect all political ideals even though I disagree with many of them, but it’s incredible how people on the left on social media (maybe not all of them, but definitely the ones who make the most noise) have proven to be the least empathetic.
They don’t actually care about what people in Venezuela are going through; they only care that whoever did something, for better or worse, was the U.S. They’re waiting for it to turn into a war zone so they can say, “See? We were right,” without caring about the people at all.
They defend a dictator just because he claims to be left-wing, despite the fact that, in front of everyone, he stole an election, killed people before even being in government, and then continued doing so as president. They were citizens like you and me who simply didn’t agree with what was happening.
There are also records of all the torture carried out on Maduro’s orders and by his people, from rape to mutilation, and that doesn’t matter to them. What matters is that, publicly, he calls himself left-wing.
There are foreigners imprisoned just for being in Venezuela at the wrong time. It’s a xenophobic government that constantly mistreats women and has even jailed people simply for being homosexual. Everything they accuse the right of being is, in reality, exactly what that “left-wing” government they defend actually is—defended from their homes in democratic countries, where elections are not a reason to be afraid, unlike in Venezuela.
There are many foreigners who think Venezuelans are stupid, that we don’t understand that the U.S. has interests behind what it did. Of course we understand—no one does anything for free.
We’re happy not because this is a perfect solution. Maybe it means trading one set of problems for another, maybe it won’t even bring real change. But I can assure you it’s better than the situation Venezuela was in.
Have you wondered why there are no longer as many news reports or complaints about what’s happening in Venezuela? The military used to check people’s phones. If they saw anything against the government, you would be jailed. If someone saw that you posted something against the government, you would be jailed. Even if a neighbor saw you posting stories against the government, they could go to the police and you would be jailed. You could simply be in the wrong place at the wrong time and be imprisoned under charges of “terrorism.” Many young people are in that situation today, many of them even disappeared, with no information given to their families.
In prisons, people are subjected to everything from torture to rape—young people who in reality committed no crime.
There are countless political prisoners in what is considered the largest torture center in Latin America.
Many people from outside try to explain to us that this isn’t a dictatorship, but when someone proclaims himself president after losing an election and then disappears, imprisons, or kills anyone who says otherwise, that is a dictatorship.
I only lived under the governments of Chávez and Maduro. At first, the biggest problem was insecurity—I lost family members to crime. Later, I lost family members because of the government. By the time I left, the military scared me more than criminals. That’s what dictatorships feel like: you’re afraid, you’re trapped, and you can’t speak.
We don’t care how—it’s a freer Venezuela that we want. We know there’s still a long way to go, but we also know there was no other way for Maduro to no longer be in power. We went out to protest, and many people ended up dead—people my age and even younger.
Every democratic path was tried. We won the elections and proved it, and still it didn’t matter. He proclaimed himself president and killed or disappeared anyone who said otherwise.
So don’t come tell us how the U.S. “screwed us over with the bombing,” because if this is something we have to go through to get rid of Maduro and his people, then we will go through it. There will surely be other problems ahead, but it will be better than how things are now.
