I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them.

Dictators never let things like elections get in their way of power

They control armed entities like the military and police


I’ll say a prayer for the suffering people of Venezuela. Maybe this will eventually have a happy ending

Since the silence is deafening...I would assume that to be the case.

Only end to dictatorship in Venezuela is that Maduro must die.  When he does, another can take over and maintain the dictatorship.  It really requires a spirited leader that wants to bring freedom to the people.  Totalitarian governments are difficult to end.  Look at Russia.  People thought with Yeltsin Russia had cast the yoke of totalitarianism off their back, and then along comes Putin, a brutal totalitarian that kills anyone that is open and against him, even when they are in other countries.

Maduro has mobilized his motorized Colectivos thugs. They are now heading toward the crowd of 100 000 protesters listening to opposition leader María Corina Machado’s speech in Caracas.

Maduro would love a Tiananmen Square event.  His Chicom enablers would be proud.

Watch the live feed some.  Kind of tough to gauge the crowd, but I'd venture 10,000 at least?

An aid worker’s airport disappearance stirs fear of repression following disputed Venezuela election
 By  JOSHUA GOODMAN and REGINA GARCIA CANO
Updated 12:21 AM EDT, August 8, 2024

CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — The last time anyone heard from Edni López was Sunday. The 33-year-old political science professor and award-winning poet was preparing to board a flight to Argentina to visit a friend when she texted from the airport that something was wrong with her passport.

“Migration took my passport because it’s showing up as expired,” she wrote her boyfriend in the message shared with The Associated Press. “I pray to God I don’t get screwed because of a system error.”

What happened next remains a mystery — one contributing to the climate of fear and repression that has engulfed Venezuela following its disputed presidential election, the most serious wave of human rights abuses since Latin America’s military dictatorships in the 1970s.

When López’s mother, Ninoska Barrios, and her friends learned she didn’t board the flight, they started frantically combing detention centers. Finally, on Tuesday — more than 48 hours later — they learned she was being held, incommunicado, by Venezuela’s feared military intelligence police on unknown criminal charges, unable to see an attorney or speak with her family. ...

How do you get rid of a dictator who has iron fisted control over elections and only his supporters are armed?

LMAO asks:
"How do you get rid of a dictator who has iron fisted control over elections and only his supporters are armed?"

I'll presume you asked a serious question, so I'll answer with a serious answer:
Hire Mossad to make him disappear with extreme prejudice.

Because it would upset the left-wing/democrat party narrative.

Exactly. The heart of the issue in Venezuela is centered on QUESTIONING THE OFFICIAL RESULTS OF A PRESDIENTIAL ELECTION.

Our media doesn't like that kind of thing inspiring Americans to question the already decided outcome of our November election.

Exactly, and the last thing the dim party wants right now is a primer and narrative of what happens after an election is stolen.....  twice.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
