Yeah, that explains the near-universal support among Venezuelans for ousting Maduro.

That's a gross exaggeration, based on what I've been able to discern. There seemed to be roughly equal crowds lamenting the kidnapping (and decrying America) and those celebrating his capture. It would appear Venezuela is very divided (sorta like the US). Evidently, Maduro has pretty strong support in his nation. Just like Marcos did, or Putin, or Castro, or numerous other authoritarians. I should probably include the Felon here, too. He has lots of support even as he tramples on the law and civil rights.

Which isn't really a surprise. Rarely does a nation agree that a leader has to go. Some fraction of it does, and usually ends up dead. A leader that has no support isn't a leader for very long.
