Venezuelans who come to the US tend to be wealthier, in order to be able to get here, and have enough issues with their country in order to leave, issues that they will usually blame on the leadership.
None of this is to say Maduro has majority support, he doesn’t by most accounts, or that they don’t represent a sizable chunk of Venezuelans who don’t like Maduro, but that his support isn’t as non-existent over there as it is here.
It’d be like if Trump took over the US and you only got your views on what Americans think from expat communities in Canada. They would probably cheer his death, even if it was by a foreign empire, but that wouldn’t be representative of average Americans who probably wouldn’t like the foreign intervention, even if they don’t like Trump.


I’m not white so if this happens while leaving the rest of the government left intact (similar to the Venezuela situation), then the next in line will invoke martial law and non-whites like me will definitely end up in a concentration camp, so no I do not approve of this. I’m also foreign-born so I’d be the top of the target list.
I dunno. I don’t think vance would feel a need to keep doung what trump was doing. Vance would want to run in 2028, so he would probably try to take the “healer” side. He can’t carry trumps base anyway.
That said, sounds like your answer is that if it benefitted you, you would be fine with it, and if it didn’t, you wouldn’t.
It’s super hard to do the math on what that’d look like honestly. I’m not even sure we’d change handlers. The guys at the apparent top aren’t masterminds; they’re just faces and voices, perhaps scapegoats for more capable people pulling strings.
