No, the conditions are just not the same. Chavez was actually popular, whereas Maduro’s rule has been marked by civil unrest for a number of reasons, but one of the main is the absurd inflation rate. Some of these problems were inherited and just got way worse when he took power, but he hasn’t fixed them, so that he keeps winning elections is more than a little suspicious.
And? Are you saying most people are gonna keep voting for the status quo in such a situation just to stick it to the US? Is it somehow justified if a ruling government rigs elections or something similar simply because they are in opposition to the US government? You realize the world isn’t just black and white, right?
sigh

Venezuela is among the top countries for economic growth in the last year. They aren’t without problems, but Maduro was doing well.
Why is there massive inflation? (hint US)
