I'm getting flashbacks to the Venezuela protests when they found a protestor with a Washington Nationals hat, and decided that must have been a CIA agent who forget to take his hat off. This is not an exaggeration or a simplification of the theory, this was the real belief.
Think about what you'd have to believe to make that make sense. First you'd have to believe that only someone from the government could wear a Nats hat. Then you'd have to believe he walked around in a full America get up, and only changed into his Venezuela costume later.
Then there were the analyses of the whiteness of the protestors based on aerial shots. That was very normal.
Then the US tried to send food shipments, which Maduro blocked, saying they were actually weapons. You'd think he would make a big show of opening these weapon shipments disguised as food on camera, but he told us to just take his word for it, and many people here did.
The left thought he was so obviously telling the truth that they made fun of anyone who could think otherwise. theonion.com/u-s-aid-to-ven…
