Who is Venezualan Opposition leader María Corina Machado? Bc we all know she about to be Trump's new favorite person.
Machado is well known for constantly saying she'd "bury socialism forever".
She says Margaret Thatcher is a major role model.
She won a noble peace prize(for some fing reason???) and said Trump should get one too.
She's spoke at EU far-right rally "Patriots for Europe".
She supports Israel 110%.

While progressives often champion feminist rhetoric, Takaichi, Meloni and Machado have risen to prominence through conservative platforms. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/12/24/world/conservative-women-shatter-glass-ceilings/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #sanaetakaichi #giorgiameloni #mariacorinamachado #italy #venezuela #nobelpeaceprize #margaretthatcher

Today in Labor History November 28, 1990: Margaret Thatcher resigned in tears after a mass non-payment of her hated poll tax forced her out of office. The tax was a flat tax, hugely unfair, charging all adults, regardless of their wealth or income, the same amount. At the height of the campaign, nearly half of all British adults, 17 million people, had refused to pay the tax. The Labour Party refused to back any protest of the tax. But Anti-Poll Tax Unions formed across the country, and there were thousands of demonstrations, many of which became riots after mounted police charged the protesters. Over 100 were injured and more than 330 were arrested in the protests.
