But the question remains.
Why is no one on the left organizing fund raisers or concerts for the victims of socialism in Venezuela?

Many unreported charitable moves by great men and woman.  Press wants the negative.

Doesn't take a genius to see the problem in Venezuela was an incompetent and autocratic leader with a totalitarian vision, and not socialism.   It's not an excuse to point out an empirical fact of failed leadership - it's there in plain sight.
Failed Socialistic leadership?
Say it isn't so.

Funny how ideologues who rant against socialist democracy usually opt to not mention successful instances in Europe, where democratic process hasn't been subverted as it was forcefully in Venezuela.

There are concerts on the border of Venezuela planned, Ward.

For that matter, there was a concert held in 2017 about the proposed border wall. It was originally planned for the US side, but the US government blocked it, so it was held in Tijuana.

But you don't actually care - you just thought you had a gotcha issue.

The real question is why are people on the right permitting anti-humanitarian, anti-children, anti-life activities to go without their objection.

And it's not much of a question: they are not pro-life, they are pro their own lives and nobody else's. (And they are even wrong about that.)

LOL translated in Ward-speak means "I have no counter to your fact-based statement, but rather than admitting that I am wrong, I will say nothing meaningful."

Red will say nothing meaningful, using the socialist internet to get his word out and then to find pictures of his crush, Pepe the Frog, in swimwear and lingerie.

Highest rates since 2000. Couldn't be other factors, like the daily negative news about the world or the impending climate collapse...

"There have been a number of things that people have talked about lately. One is just sort of increasing rates of psychological pain or psychological distress in young people -- more anxiety and more depression -- and I think that's for a number of reasons," Kaslow said.

Some reasons, Kaslow said, could be that family and community structures may not be as tight-knit as in the past, leading to increased risk, or that the increased use of technology has led to young people spending less time on cultivating rich, in-person relationships and more time being exposed to possible cyberbullying.

Indistinguishable from any of the many deranged rant filled rallies he has been holding since he was elected, but billed as his campaign "kick-off" so that the cable networks would actually cover one of them live again.

France, Germany, Netherlands, and Italy also send regards.  And the US, since the Woodrow Wilson administration.   People out where I dwell used to joke that farmers and ranchers hated FDR, that socialist bastard, right up until they failed and then they were pounding on his door yelling for assistance.

Trump's been campaigning, instead of governing, since January 2017.   Everyone whose not in the deplorable basket is bored senseless.
