3. It is all nonsense

Madura is no more a dictator than Trump is. The far right opposition leader in Venezuela has held rallies calling for the overthrow of the government and for foreign military intervention. Some dictatorship.

Trump: “We’re going to have our very large US oil companies, the biggest anywhere in the world, go in, spend billions to fix the badly broken oil infrastructure, and start making money. We’re going to be taking a tremendous amount of wealth out of the ground.”

Nothing to do with "dictatorship" or "democracy."
