Maduro created new seats on the venezuelan Supreme Court and stacked them with loyalists.

After losing the 2016 parliamentary elections to the opposition-parties, his Supreme Court dissolved the parliament and declared itself the new parliament.

Next there were elections for a constitutional assembly in 2017, whose job would be to rewrite the constitution. The company that built the voting-machines said that the results of the election had been tampered with. Maduro's party won every single seat on that assembly.
Btw, that assembly also declared itself to be a parliament.

Next, there were presidential elections in 2018. The only candidates who were allowed on the ballot were Maduro and a few lackies from Maduro's party. Not a single opposition-candidate was permitted to run. Maduro won.




But Guaido didn't win the election!

And he's white!!!!!!!!

Ohhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
