and maybe the new one won't be lying to him as much as the old one did.

The really huge demos aren't fascist in nature, they're more out of disgust for the economic shape the country is in, with the rich guys creating artificial shortages of daily necessities instead of shipping them out to stores.

However, if they do overturn Maduro, a fascist military dictatorship is likely to be what they'll get.

They're damned if they do, damned if they don't.
