American Thinker: Latin American nations throwing off communist dictatorships can be witty in their protests, starting with that staple of Latin protests, the pot-banger, or cacerolazo, which is the spectacle of angry housewives beating on pots and pans, originally done to protest Marxist dictators. It was a practice started in Chile in 1971, when angry housewives protested Cuban dictator Fidel Castro’s little pawn in Santiago, Salvador Allende, and all his signature shortages of socialism, by chasing his minions around, beating on pots and pans. It’s what got the ball rolling in the current unrest in Venezuela and has been used on Marxist dictator Nicolás Maduro quite a bit.
Here is another funny one from Honduras, dating from its effort to throw out a detested communist dictator, Hugo Chávez’s pawn, Mel Zelaya, in 2009. At the time, Hondurans were being reviled and sanctioned by the Obama administration and much of the West for their courage. Some of the response was humor. I’ve also seen good stuff at Miami protests against Castro. My favorite sign? “No Castro, No Problem.” Miami Cubans even made that into a bumper sticker, and the left screamed.
Now Venezuelans have come up with a good one, this time explicitly addressed to President Trump:
President Trump, if you help us to kick Maduro and all his thieves, we build the Mexican wall and paint it too.
That’s great. The 5.7 billion could feed a Venezuelan family for a day!
IF TRUMP DOESN’T FOLLOW THIS CAVE TODAY WITH A NATIONAL EMERGENCY DECLARATION, I’M WITH COULTER TONIGHT — WIMP!!!!!
HIT ME WITH YOUR BEST SHOTS!!
