Here's the thing, we're nearly a year into Trump's presidency and if you can point to a difference in how Democrats were caught flat footed with Venezuela vs how they were caught flat footed so many times in 2025, I'm all ears.
What I see is Democratic leadership acting like it's January 2018, when there were still some norms, semi competent people around Trump, and a Republican congress that had not demonstrated there is no red line for Trump.
This is the great reminder to those who add to the negativity. I have blocked, and will continue to mute and block those that complain about the Democrats, 2024 election and any other bs.
Keep using your voice, it really is YOUR super power.
I also need to point out as I do on the social media platforms, this entire yelling at Democrats campaign is being run by bots. Unfortunately far too many people, including famous influential ones in whom I am now extremely disappointed, fall for it as well and spread the work of the bots for them. This weekend was indeed off the charts. We need to be much more aware of the accounts that post this garbage - don't follow, don't listen to or take seriously, and don't argue!
You are so right! It’s maddening reading posts saying do something!! We are in the minority and can only do so much. I think people are panicking about what is happening and it’s definitely a scary time!
The social media situation in Venezuela isn’t just noise — it’s a battlefield where digital repression, censorship, and propaganda shape what people can see and say. Independent voices are blocked, journalists jailed, and platforms throttled — that’s not free discourse, it’s authoritarian control.
