Summary
A woman protesting against the Venezuelan government in 2021 was disfigured when military forces tossed boiling water on her. Yesterday, she took part in demonstrations in New York City, where she begged a Manhattan federal judge to lock up dictator Nicolás Maduro for as long as possible. Watching US politicians react to the news regarding Venezuela along such starkly partisan lines demonstrates the rapid deterioration of society’s foundational truth and trust. In response, I’d like to suggest a brief apologetic framed around three logical assertions.
