re: #372 Targetpractice

Think we need to separate the motivations of the Trump admin from those of his wingnut base with regards to supporting “regime change” in Venezuela. The former are motivated largely by oil, but there is also an element of notching a “win” for Trump’s foreign policy by “liberating” the Venezuelan people from “socialism.” The latter have bought totally into the BS about the Venezuelan people suffering under the rule of a socialist dictator and the need for America to go in and save them. You know, the same nimrods who believed that the Iraqi people were begging us to come in and remove Saddam so they could live in the wonder and beauty of American democracy.

Can you cite some evidence that the wingnut base is in favor of military action in Venezuela? Because everything I’ve seen suggests that they’re isolationists (=America firsters). Although they may go along with DT for a while.
