Asking because some of them supported Cuba a few weeks ago but now Cuba is enemy #1 and the US just killed 32 Cuban officers who were directly defending Maduro as his personal guard.
It kinda seems like you can’t be an enemy of Venezuela and also a supporter of Cuba so like… Are there any states left that these self-identified leftists still support at all?
I can’t put my finger on this, but I bet there’s some psychology behind rooting for the “underdog” and being repulsed by the “powerful”

I have to imagine it has to do with identification. Unless you’re at the top of the social order, you’re going to identify with the “underdog” to some extent, but few will identify with the powerful. Even at the higher echelons, there’s still plenty of people with more power, which can lead one to the false assumption of one’s own downtrodden status: hence the difficulty of many white-presenting people to recognize their own privilege, even when it becomes increasingly obvious when bolstered by wealth.
