Before you right-wing nutjobs start in, let us remind you that America’s greatest president, Jimmy Carter, personally observed several of Venezuela’s elections and can confirm that Chavez was not a dictator. He is so beloved, the state has practically no choice but to keep his body on display forever.

What? Democratically elected leaders always have their corpses displayed permanently for the public to view. Right? #HugoChavez

That’s not creepy; you Americans just don’t understand how much the poor of Venezuela (and the rich liberals of America) loved the man. A lot.
