How long does it take for the Venezuelans to overthrow this totalitarian government? I would hope that it would not take nearly as long for us.
I think populations have different views of totalitarianism based on their history and heritage.
The US is one of the very few with a tradition of liberty.
The "civilized free world" threw a hissy fit until they let the dictator come back.
Personally I think they should have given the dear hearts the finger and stuck it out.
