But the choice of Machado might not be the big 'fuck you' to Trump and Fascism we think it is...

A bit more on Machado and Trump:
In January, after Machado was held by force during a protest, Tramp
expressed his support. He called her a “democracy activist” and a “freedom
fighter” who should not be harmed.

So Trump did not get the Nobel peace prize. But by choosing Machado, the
committee has picked a political figure who has praised the US president,
which might lessen the fallout.
In public comments, Machado has thanked Trump for his “commitment to
freedom and democracy in Venezuela”.
She was also on this year’s TIME Magazine “100 most influential People” list.
The justification was delivered by no other than Marco Rubio, US secretary
of state, who said she was “the personification of resilience, tenacity, and
patriotism”.
@Lazarou Machado is a right-wing insurrectionist. May as well have just awarded it to Trump.
@Lazarou No the choice of Machado has NOTHING to do with The Great Orange.
And that also pisses him off.
@xinit he wouldn't appreciate the subtlety, even as his minions try to explain it to him, because he is a mindless thug
@Lazarou Noem would blame AntiFa.
i'm looking in my crystal ball
i see abuses from trump's deployment of thugs in cities across the usa
i see an effective and nuanced response to the ugliness
and i see an #antifa organizer rising in worldwide prominence from that effort
and then i see them getting the #NobelPeacePrize in 2027 or 2028
...and that would be funny as fuck for trump and #maga 😂
