Massive protests are taking place in Venezuela. Here's what they look like.

On Saturday, huge numbers of Venezuelans took to the streets — most of them to show their support for opposition leader Juan Guaidó. A smaller contingency came out in support of President Nicolás Maduro, to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the rise to power of his predecessor, Hugo Chávez.

Scenes from the two sides illustrate the deep divisions that have emerged in Venezuela in recent weeks, after Guaidó declared himself interim president and Maduro refused to step down. Marches in support of Guaidó, the 35-year-old head of the opposition-controlled National Assembly, appear to have attracted massive crowds of demonstrators — holding signs calling for fair elections and sovereign democracy — in Caracas and other cities around the country.

1. The US has an illegitimate President too..

At least the people are in the streets

2. People in the US are much more well off than people in Venezuela

Which might explain why there aren't people on the streets here.

3. I'm really tempted to say

that they must all be CIA agents, but I won't.

I also won't mention that this is apophasis.
