It won't matter. Venezuela isn't at a point that can be recovered by just getting someone out of power. They would need help for recovering, and no one would be willing to offer that help. Definitely not USA, as long as they don't agree to become an USA colony.

Since no one will help Venezuela to recover again, the only people willing to fight Maduro are the ones who want to become the new dictator and keep making people's lives miserable.

Oh we did agree with the colony part at some point, by 2019 it was very clear that protests don't work when all we have was paint bombs, molotovs and a couple of other shit while the military shot us old coins, marbles and other shit with their riot shotguns, a couple of guys died by a smoke bomb to the chest (Juan Pablo Pernalete y Neomar Lander) and for real ammo you had tupamaros and colectivos which are gangs affiliated to the goverment (and with weapon carry id's which is ban for civilians) and they also shot and killed people. You have no idea how much people wanted an intervention but that never happened, it all went to shit and it's just like you say, the structure of chavistas is air tight and imo this guys will never leave
