Naw man, we should definitely stop Trump from stealing Venezuela's oil for the same American oil companies that are literally burning us all to death in fucking fire, obviously. But there's a way to write about that subject and that way is not "let's print anonymous quotes from the literal free market fundie fascist movement that begged Trump to coup their own country."
For example, Common Dreams handled the task just fine:

(Yeah I know they printed the quote, but it sure as shit isn't presented as the reason why you should care. I just fucking hate pretend man, and in a society that sincerely gave a Ayn Rand-humping fundie fascist whackjob like María Corina Machado a peace prize, purely to sanctify further operations against Venezuela that Trump would make reality, pretend is all we have on offer it seems...)
The truth of the matter is the liberal establishment does not care that Trump coup'd Venezuela by kidnapping Maduro, or that he's stealing the oil to essentially pay out the oil companies that helped make him Swine Emperor. They're upset that he broke the deal with their carefully cultivated opposition movement and they've been cut out of the deal. And that's why EVERYTHING has to be filtered through the lens of what very specific "opposition" movement leaders think. It's all very grotesque.
