for everything that went wrong.

I mean, there were moments in which we knew and had proof that these problems were coming directly from the regime's actions.

And yet so many times they simply lied about it and said that it was the U.S.

's fault to the point where many of us were

you know, simply desensitized to the idea of U.S.

intervention.

It's a case of the boy who cried wolf.

But in this case, it was the dictator who cried intervention.

Yeah.

Second of all, I mean, for many years now, every cent made from our country's resources have gone everywhere except to the people.

Our resources have been going to other country, let's say Russia and China, just to name a couple.

And yet we, the Venezuelan people, have not seen a single cent of that.

So at this point, we're used to being exploited and we're used to being cheated.

So when people in the U.S.

say, hey, the U.S.

only wants to steal your oil or, hey, like they're going to exploit your country, it's ignoring the fact that we have already been living through that very same thing for decades.

And many believe that our material reality won't be affected just because now it's someone else stealing our resources.

If anything, people are willing to see if these new guys, aka the U.S., might do things differently.

Now, whether that's right or not, what it really speaks to, I think, is, I guess, my final point, which is that people are desperate.

Every time a leftist says, oh, your life is about to get so much worse or so bad or whatever, they say that without knowing how bad things have already gotten.
