Democrats have found a dictator they want to defend – and it’s Venezuela’s Nicolás Maduro. Just like their embrace of “Maryland Man” Kilmar Abrego Garcia – an illegal alien alleged to have ties to human trafficking, gang activity, and domestic abuse – the reflex is the same: oppose Trump at all costs. Even if that means being anti-American.

After President Donald Trump authorized a precision operation that captured Maduro alive and brought him to America to face trial — not a drone strike, not a smoking crater like with Obama’s “justice” – Democrats across X immediately declared it “war,” “kidnapping,” and apparently the end of civilization as we know it.

Mexico’s president, Claudia Sheinbaum condemned Trump’s operation – a curious response given that removing Venezuela from the cocaine-export business could easily create new opportunities closer to home.

Back home, Chuck Schumer warned darkly about international law, Bernie Sanders hyperventilated over the operation, and Admiral Mike Franken asked what if another nation captured our president. Simple answer: Pete Hegseth would blow them up, dude.

Meanwhile, Venezuelans are celebrating the arrest of their illegal president all over the internet and Republican Rep Mike Collins of Georgia pointed out this is the first time Democrats have been upset about arresting a president.

One perfect post on X summed it up well saying: “We lost New York. Gained Venezuela.”

Democrats aren’t worried about America’s safety or drug problems. They’re worried Trump might succeed at something – and they hate that more than they hate actual dictators.
