What's confusing me about the MAGA right and their reaction to Venezuelan elections.
You can sum up their reaction as "Socialism Bad".
However, I don't see how Venezuela is any more Socialist than Russia, but they love Russia.
I has a confuse.
@Lulz4l1f3 You can't explain stupidity. There are 4 units in my HOA building. We all contribute to repairs, etc. I love calling it "our little socialist experiment" to my MAGA HOA president neighbor. Drives her crazy.
@SaltyVeruca @Lulz4l1f3 ask her if you can share her cable...
@hallmarc @Lulz4l1f3 It's funny. We share food too like vegetables etc. Ma'am, what do you think we're doing here?
I look at it like this if we go all the way back to Chavez: he basically bought out or bought majority control of US oil, telecommunications, and other major sector businesses owned by companies from other countries.
And then he appointed loyalists with little or no experience in those industries to run them. Is that socialism? Yes, state-owned industries.
Russia has done the same thing with 1120 state run industries.
@Lulz4l1f3 They don't really know what socialism - or Venezuela - is. They hate things their team tells them they hate. It's enough that it be something someone else likes or wants or _is_.
Venezuela bad because they heard they're socialist, like Bernie Sanders and Russia Good because Putin Trump's friend!
It's not about right and wrong, it's about what team.
@Lulz4l1f3 are you just coming to the conclusion that they use any kind of normal logic? 😂
