I missed the boat on this meme, kind comrades, please explain.

CIA asset Juan Guaido who claimed to be the real president of Venezuela despite losing elections, beloved by Reddit/Democrats

accused it of being rigged despite international monitoring and recognition of the results

tried to launch a coup against Maduro (which was led by white Americans, foiled by fishermen, and the coup plotters were killed or literally pissed their pants on live TV)

Kept trying to give commands to soldiers and convincing people that he’s president only to be met by citizens beating his ass and throwing chairs at him everywhere he goes

CIA forgets about him due to Ukraine war

US makes deal with Maduro for oil (due to Russian refusing to export)

Biden’s press secretary refers to Guaido as president of Brazil

Guaido’s own party kicks him out

Making jokes about him declaring himself leader of anything whenever someone stepped down from power in any capacity became a thing here for a while
