Don't Go Caracas

I am playing Spot The Deliberate Mistake among those who are saying that "the Venezuelan dictatorship" (not that it is without fault) has been "overthrown" because the governing party has lost an election.

That is not how "dictatorships" are "overthrown".

The winning side, please note, has no unifying principle whatever beyond hatred of the present President, who remains in office, and hatred of his deceased predecessor.

    1. You need to look up who has just won the Venezuelan elections. And Maduro remains President.
