2. It will soon become about "the government", because "everything is about Chavismo"

Maduro assures it as such.

A year ago, a young thug was lynched very publicly, when he was caught stealing from a vendor. He was beaten, then some bystanders doused him with gas and set him ablaze. And how did Maduro spin this horrible atrocity?

Maduro accused those lynchers of killing this otherwise "innocent" person because he was a Afro-Venezuelan Chavista. Not because he was a thief, because lynching a thief is welcomed in crime riddled Venezuela. Oh no... the atrocity of lynching had to be spun to serve Chavismo. Because EVERYTHING is about Chavismo. If something bad happens, it is because "the Oligarchy" hates Chavismo. If something good happens, it is because Chavismo fought back against "the Oligarchy" and won.

God forbid Chavista incompetence, corruption or malfeasance be blamed for quadruple digit hyperinflation, the crashing economy, highest violent crime rate in the western hemisphere, lack of food and medicine and the brain drain that has infected Venezuela for the last 18 years despite NO opposition in power.
