MAGA's Divided Response to Venezuela Operation

  • ⚡ Many other MAGA figures are siding with the Trump administration, leading to a division within the movement.

Mixed Reactions from Conservative Influencers

  • 💡 Benny Johnson suggests the operation is Trump's revenge for the 2020 election theft, linking Smartmatic and Dominion voting systems to Venezuela.
  • ⚠️ Matt Walsh calls the operation a "resounding victory" and a "brilliant military operation," dismissing international law as "fake and gay."
  • 🗣️ Dave Smith expresses disappointment in right-wingers supporting the attack, calling out hypocrisy.
  • Jack Posobiec questions the long-term success, emphasizing the need to understand "what comes next" after regime change operations.

Critiques of Interventionism and Messaging

  • 🤔 Tucker Carlson offers mild criticism while defending Trump, suggesting it's a nation-building campaign.
  • ✈️ Tim Pool notes that removing Maduro made more sense than interventions in Iraq and Afghanistan, but insists the operation is for oil and the pro-dollar, not drugs.

Analysis of Interventionist Stance

  • ⚖️ The hosts question the consistency of MAGA influencers who were previously anti-war but now support intervention in Venezuela.
  • 🇺🇸 The discussion contrasts the MAGA influencers' reactions with the progressive stance, which has historically been anti-war.
