Majority of Latin Americans Endorsed Trump’s Raid in Venezuela, Polls Show
.

While some Latin Americans denounced what they decried as American imperialism in Venezuela, a more supportive response to President Trump’s action prevailed, with several polls showing that a majority of Latin Americans endorsed the intervention.
“I am happy because I saw the fall of a dictator, and I am happy because my Venezuelan friends are happy,” said Carlos Segura, 36, a professor in Buenos Aires.

Seventy-four percent of Peruvians, 63 percent of Chileans, a majority of Colombians, Brazilians, Argentines and even Panamanians, whose country was itself invaded by the United States to remove an authoritarian leader nearly three decades ago, approved of the capture, according to several polls.

Doesn't matter. It was probably still illegal.

That's the problem we have. We're sliding into authoritarianism, and half of the country doesn't care because "at least he's not a Democrat". Several commenters believe we are already there (including me), and it's just a question of how deep we fall at this point. Because Rule of Law no longer applies. And that's the ONLY thing that ever protected the People.
