In the immediate aftermath, Venezuelans cheered in the streets, celebrating the demise of Maduro’s Marxist regime, one that had decimated their economy and led to huge numbers of Venezuelans fleeing the country since 2013. Leftist groups in the U.S., such as the ANSWER Coalition, The People’s Forum, Code Pink, and the Chicago Teachers Union, also organized quickly,  gathering crowds for protests in prominent American cities, leaving observers wondering just how they were able to mobilize so fast.
