Imagine having to sit there and watch this…
One of the ways tyrants stay in power–other than the obvious method of smashing people’s heads in–is to strip the people of their self-respect by subjecting them to various degrading performances… which they have to say are wonderful, “We really like it!”, pretend it makes perfect sense to them, etc.
Venezuela is staging a “presidential election” this summer to give tyrant Maduro another six years in which to abuse the country. So The Powers have announced the creation of a new reality TV show (!!), M Factor, which will select theme songs for Maduro’s campaign (https://www.breitbart.com/latin-america/2024/04/11/m-factor-venezuela-launches-reality-show-pick-theme-songs-maduros-sham-election/). [It only hurts when I laugh.] The show will be hosted by a Loyal Party Member from the rubber-stamp legislature and aired on government-owned and operated TV–not that there’s any other kind, down there.
The theme songs must praise “homeland, the Revolution, and Venezuela.”
Really–how can you hold up your head, under a government that subjects you to such puerile nonsense? It’s only a make-believe election: the (LOL) “opposition candidates” have been selected by Maduro and his playmates.
That slurping sound you hear offstage is American Democrats licking their lips for envy.
