Daniel Di Martino, a native-born Venezuelan freedom activist, had a strong warning for Americans ahead of the 2020 presidential election -- don't allow what happened to my country happen to yours.
"I was really shocked, when I came to the United State, less than 4 years ago, how the Democratic party went from a party that was supposed to be moderate to a party that embraced the ideas that I fled from," said Di Martino on "Fox and Friends" on Monday.
Di Martino was born in Venezuela in 1999 and left the country in 2016 to attend Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis, where he obtained a Bachelor of Arts with honors in Quantitative Economics, according to his website.
He recently wrote an opinion piece for The Daily Wire, telling the story of his grandfather, who immigrated to Venezuela in 1956 from Spain and thrived in the bustling free-market, Venezuelan economy.
"Venezuela in the 1950s was a country that received millions of immigrants from all over the world, such as my grandfather," he said on "Fox and Friends."
"[Venezuela] was prosperous, where even people without education could get a job and prosper," Di Martino explained, "Slowly but surely, socialism destroyed it and turned it into what it is today."
In Fox Nation's "The Unauthorized History of Socialism," Fox News anchor Bret Baier walks viewers through the sad history of Venezuela, and how the country, which used to be the wealthiest in Latin America, has become a failed state.
"The economy imploded and the country has collapsed to the point that it is generating more refugees now than the Middle East, than Syria," said Niall Ferguson, a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution in the Fox Nation show.

FOX - For Americans who only want to invest in Communism.
Bernie needs to be the face of the Democrat/Socialist Party.
With him at the top of the ticket the GOP would have to not contest seats to lose.
bttt
The Democrat Party was founded by Thomas Jefferson.
I doubt he was a Communist.
Thomas Jefferson wanted to align our country towards revolutionary France, so he was not far off from communist.
The Democratic Party of today is a far cry from the party of Thomas Jefferson or even from the party of the 1950s Democrats. We have never had our major academic institutions and our government so populated with socialists and communists as we do now. They have been teaching and forming the ideas of American children for more than 2 generations when it takes only one to entirely change a culture. The insanity is almost complete, politically and culturally. I find myself wondering if God, Himself, is not sick of how his plan for this world has been distorted with lies, envy and the lust for power. Maybe He is just not going to stand by and take it anymore. Disease and locusts have changed the course of history before. It definitely could happen again.
Well since 1917 at least
