San Francisco has long been a crazy place. The city was a Liberal stronghold for many years, perhaps since shortly after World War II. But over the past couple of decades, the city's leftist population has turned into pure madmen. It's also a breeding ground for Trump Derangement Syndrome; if President Trump found a way to generate clean, free electricity out of thin air, the left in San Francisco would suddenly be campaigning for coal plants.
Now, in the latest chapter of “San Francisco Goes Crazy for Bats”, San Franciscans take to the streets (I'm sure this is truly spontaneous) to protest against Trump's overthrow of Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro.

Note the usual left-wing protest stuff: neat, seemingly professionally printed signs, as well as handwritten signs with poor spelling, bad handwriting and worse grammar. AWFL. People are still wearing COVID masks. It's a cavalcade of the usual suspects.
However, there is one thing that makes these people look even dumber than they already are, and that's saying something. This is, of course, the reaction of Venezuelan exiles in the United States, people who fled the illegitimate rule of dictator Maduro. These people are not chanting “Hands off Venezuela.” They are, literally, dancing in the streets.
'It feels like a breath of fresh air': Venezuelans in South Florida took to the streets of Doral early Saturday morning to celebrate the U.S. military action in Venezuela that led to the arrest of President Nicolas Maduro.

The post continues:
People carried the Venezuelan flag and sang together in the early morning. “This is not an act of war. This is an act of freedom,” said one Venezuelan.
One Venezuelan said. Not “one Republican said.” Not “said one American right-wing warmonger.” Venezuelan. It seems that this version is now popular among Venezuelan emigrants.

But wait! That's not all! These happy Venezuelans are jumping for joy, and none of the people to whom they express their thanks to San Francisco liberals.
Hearing the news, they emerged in the middle of the night, some still in their pajamas, and joined a crowd of revelers waving Venezuelan flags and dancing, singing and crying.
“Thank you, Lord, thank you, President of the United States. I waited for years – he did so much damage. It was terrible,” said Yajaira, a Venezuelan-American from the city of Maracaibo.
A Venezuelan who came to the United States because of Maduro and his dictatorial, corrupt rule. This guy is interested in what's going on in Caracas right now. None of these psychos from San Francisco do it.
News that the US attacked Venezuela and captured President Nicolas Maduro and his wife staged a spontaneous celebration in front of the El Arepazo restaurant in Doral, a city in Miami-Dade County nicknamed “Doralzuela” because it highest concentration of Venezuelans in the USA
“We've been here eight years, eight years now,” Yajaira said, referring to how long she's been in the US. “They killed my older brother. It was so hard. They kidnapped my brothers. It was hard. I thank God for all of this because it was hard,” she said, her voice cracking as she looked up at the sky.
Yajaira can now go home. The new Venezuela will need the return of its people if it is to grow, as it should, into a modern, prosperous country. Venezuela will need many people fleeing Maduro's banditry; its professional people, its workers, its families.
As for the San Francisco liberals and the crazy left, when considering how much weight to give to the actions of two groups of people, look at which ones are in play. The Venezuelans who celebrate this event in Caracas and Florida have a vested interest in what is happening in Venezuela. San Francisco protesters simply hate President Trump. That, in fact, is all we need to know about this, and this is accurate and certain.
