Nicolas Maduro was a failed leader. His country was in ruins. He was a socialist lunatic. His country had pirates off of the coast. Waves of people left seeking refugee status in other nations. There was starvation. There were human rights and free speech violations. He killed his own people. He annexed his neighbor’s territory. He was a client state for Russia and China. In short, Maduro was a terrible guy. Venezuelans are happy he’s gone. I believe it is good that he’s gone.

Is it bad that Trump didn’t ask for Congressional authority? Sure, but many Presidents don’t for one off operations. Is it bad to just remove foreign leaders? Yeah, usually. Does any of this matter if Maduro is gone, we don’t get stuck in some long occupation, and things get better for normal Venezuelans? No.

We have leftists on the internet and in major cities protesting this. Just stop. You don’t need to defend Maduro just because you don’t like Trump. Of course the weirdos I’m talking about are also the kind of people who want to “change the relationship to property ownership” here in America. These people aren’t redeemable. We really don’t need them in any political party. We can win the 2026 Election talking about real world issues like health care, household debt, and wages. And well, I say that as someone who supports more public housing and thinks Presidents should ask Congress to attack foreign nations. These people live in a fairy tale land. And they want to bring that here.

Reject it. Reject it and reject people who tell you it’s what’s best for us. It’s not.
