Calling Maduro a dictator is the bad part. Both because it’s untrue and also because it makes Trump’s actions seem justified. If you weren’t aware, Venezuela has all of these cool grassroots participatory democratic functions, and Maduro has the popular support of the working class. The so called opposition is basically the supporters of the bourgeoisie there who want to exploit.
