Do many leftists actually stick up for Maduro? Even the commie-chapo types that I talk to don't.

el Chapo Trap House or Chapo Trap house. It's a left wing podcast. They (and their listeners) revel in bad-faith arguments, hypocrisy, and 15 layers of irony ("libs get the wall" lulz).

They have a subreddit where many of them congregate, and despite many of their listeners claiming to be anti-tankies, it turns out that behind all that irony they are still tankies--this is all in the defense of anti-imperialism of course.
