		guywithahat 25 days ago \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Trump says Venezuela’s Maduro captured after strik... Thank God, Chavez turned the richest country in south america into the poorest and Maduro continued his legacy with the average person losing 17lbs in a year when the price of oil fell. Although I'm surprised Trump is getting involved in world affairs we're at least at a point where the situation can't get any worse. Hopefully Trump will end socialism and bring back democracy to Venezuela

That is incredibly optimistic and completely wrong. It can and probably will get worse. You just don’t create a power vacuum and hope for the best.
