What’s key to understand in Venezuela is that the US did a coup and got the president Maduro out.
But the regime is still there. The VP took power. Chavismo is still in charge. The armed forces, paramilitary, everyone is still around. The opposition, that likely won the last election, is still not in charge.
It’s really unusual. And shows the US, as usual with Trump, might not have much of a plan.
Good article on the new president Delcy Rodríguez

Before somebody comes and replies about how the population •should• be violent: please note that the way the public is responding is a carefully calibrated strategy.
Judge after judge is striking down National Guard deployments. The Trump regime is •desperate• at this point for some kind of violent escalation to justify domestic military deployment. We’re not giving it to them. We’re just doing what we do: taking care of each other, showing by example how to be human in the face of inhumanity.

Abstract: We study spin-phonon coupled dynamics in the vicinity of a sloped conical intersection created by laser coupling the electronic (spin) and vibrational degrees of freedom of a pair of trapped Rydberg ions. We show that the shape of the potential energy surfaces can be engineered and controlled by exploiting the sideband transitions of the crystal vibration and dipole-dipole interactions between Rydberg ions in the Lamb-Dicke regime. Using the sideband transition, we realize a sloped conical intersection whose cone axis is only tilted along one spatial axis. When the phonon wavepacket is located in the potential minimum of the lower potential surface, the spin and phonon dynamics are largely frozen owing to the geometric phase effect. When starting from the upper potential surface, the electronic and phonon states tunnel to the lower potential surface, leading to a partial revival of the initial state. In contrast, the dynamics drastically change when the initial wavepackets are away from the conical intersection. The initial state is revived, and is almost entirely irrelevant to whether it is from the lower or upper potential surface. Complete Rabi oscillations of the adiabatic states are found when the wavepacket is initialized on the upper potential surface. The dynamics occur on the microsecond and nanometer scales, implying that Rydberg ions provide a platform for simulating nonadiabatic processes in the vicinity of a sloped conical intersection.

There tends to be this implicit assumption that only the state can provide services to the people. It's endemic to liberals. If authoritarians seize power, the thinking goes, there's nothing we can do.
But we have ample examples of the opposite. Trumpism is a specific type of authoritarianism where the state withdraws to allow corporations to control most things. They get a degree of autonomy and, in exchange, bow to the sovereign.
This is common in South American dictatorships (often those backed and supported by the US). So it can be helpful to look to these as examples of how to deal with that type of regime.

Really looks like the United States is about to launch a regime change war against Venezuela with:
-No casus belli
-No authorization from Congress
-No allies or international support
-No plan for a post-Maduro Venezuela
-No preparation for any sort of stabilization or containment of the fallout

Ich habe den Eindruck, dass Darth #Putin allmählich die Luft ausgeht. Er muss Druck machen und den Anschein erwecken, als könne er diesen Druck noch weiter steigern und lange durchhalten - aber er kann genau das nicht. Die Luft geht im aus, denn die Wirtschaft ist am Boden - nur künstlich übertüncht, wie die deutsche Wirtschaft unter dem NSDAP Regime. Bluff.
Hört er auf Krieg zu führen wird

I mean, once this current regime is over, I'd bet all things Trump will be naming after himself will be immediately reverted to their actual names, but I hope some things do remain with his name. Or that they'd be named anew.
Trump Dump does have a great ring to it, for example.

Behind the scenes, some of the most powerful people around Trump have been trying to persuade him to attack Venezuela
— and remove its president, Nicolšs Maduro
— in what would be an extraordinary escalation of months-long military build-up in the Caribbean.
Those in favour of the strikes say they could bring democracy and prosperity to Venezuela
and provide a way for the eight million people who have fled the country in the past ten years to return.
These includ…

Trump’s recent claims that the US should keep Venezuelan oil from seized tankers
are part of a broader belief in rightwing “resource imperialism”, experts say.
In recent weeks, the Trump administration has escalated pressure on Venezuela, invoking drug-trafficking claims.
This month, the US intercepted two tankers carrying Venezuelan oil and began pursuing a third,
while intensifying its campaign against the country’s president, Nicolšs Maduro.
Critics have comp…
