I for one am loving every second of the left’s pain and agony over the train wreck that is Venezuela.

[Attention Surplus Disorder]

It’s a horror for the people of VZ but the Republicans need to pound relentlessly the example of VZ. I know, the only thing they can not do. To repeat something, lest someone think they are dog whistling or being racist towards turnips.

Meanwhile, the left and the leftist media will repeat something 3,700 times if they see it as fulfilling their mission. And then repeat it some more, bring out a previously unknown and unseen “expert” to repeat the same line of crap their previous 47 guests have already repeated 3,699 times.

There is one thing the Republicans should do, and it’s so painfully obvious. They need to hire a firm that will get them together and train them to mouth what should be pre-set responses to leftist drivel. They need to have spiritual retreats at the nearest Ritz-Carlton where they learn how to say THE SAME DAMN THING OVER AND OVER.

Socialism kills people. Democrats want socialism in America

[1Old Pro]

Which means a lot of suffering is in the offing — both for the beleaguered people of Venezuela, who are learning the lesson that while one may vote oneself into socialism one has to shoot oneself out of it, and for the American Left, who will spend the next months and years explaining how Venezuela isn’t real socialism and shifting to Bolivia as the new socialist Wakanda (which won’t age well) while lecturing us how while they’ve supported all the same policies Chavez and Maduro have foisted on their people, the results of those policies here would be Totally Different You Guys.

Yep, streets ablaze tight in the middle of a Presidential election with one side saying Venezuela is paradise an the other saying socialism is failed policy - Americans will have to believe their own eyes.

Venezuela serves as a great visual for what the left wants to do to US.

> incompetent, corrupt and malignant socialist dictatorship

This type of statement is dangerous. It implies that there is another type of “socialist dictatorship”. It makes Bernie and AOC supporters say “yeah it’s bad, but they just aren’t doing it right”.

[babble-on]

They are amazingly good at ignoring these stories.

If ever there were a place that “socialism” might work it would be a resource rich country like this. You only had to nationalize one industry, and then run it competently, and there would have been quite a bit of wealth to redistribute.

But they are thieves and incompetent managers and they were utterly incapable of running an oil company, so now they flee in the night with the family silver.

[FLT-bird]

I am sorry to see the suffering the Venezuelan people are enduring.

BUT

They voted for it. Sometimes the purpose of your life is to serve as a warning to others.

I’m waiting for the Cuban’s in VZ to start getting whacked.

Calling Sean Penn. Has anyone seen Sean Penn?

9 out of 10 voters know zero about venezuela, much less connect the mess there to socialism or Democrats

1 out of ten are split 50/50 between conservatives who have a clue and liberals who disconnect Venezualan tyranny with the glories of Progressive socialism (or blame the US for the turmoil there)

Venezuala is not a winning issue for our side.
