Great. Back to the question, let him judge the popular support. It is true that years ago, when Chavez was alive, there were a large number of supporters, but as the years went by it was diminishing. Today there are still brainwashed or brainless Chavistas/Maduristas, and I apologize for being derogatory, Chavez knew what he was doing. He manipulated the population very well, the most vulnerable, illiterate, and they saw him as a God. Today, June 30, 2024, popular opinion has changed drastically. The burning of Chavez's statues speaks for itself. That had never happened before, even in neighborhoods that were once 100% left-wing. Today, they basically no longer exist. They managed to open their eyes and are expressing their discontent.
I hope I was able to answer your question, if that was what you were wondering, sometimes I don't translate well and I understand something else.

He is an elitist who is divorced from reality
He is a socialist who supports gun control.
He also supports unfettered immigration and is an apologist for violent criminals.
That makes him the enemy.
This is my first list of enemies of freedom

Thanks for your edit. I don't understand what this has to do with the word "elitist" but whatever
Put me on your enemy list as well. I don't support gun control but I do support (legal) immigration because as a capitalist I see it as a form of matching demand and supply of labor - and human resources are just a form of resources like iron ore or machines are.
reply
You are not the enemy.
Elitism = socialism
Elitisim = gun control
Elitism = ignoring immigration law because borders are a silly concept
Elitism = reimagining law enforcement
Elitism = no cash bail
Elitism = student loan cancellation
Elitism = global citizen

What is "elitism"?
I personally believe in capitalism. Capitalism is not only free trade but also the rights and freedoms of capital holders. If the 30% owner of a company votes for A and the 10% owner of a company votes for B on a shareholder meeting the two voices shouldn't count equal.
I call this capitalism and a good thing. Do you call this "elitism"? If yes, then elitism is a good thing in my book.
reply
Obviously the 30 percent owner has a larger voting share than the 10 percent owner. And the 60 percent owner can overrule the other 40 percent.
Most elitists are socialists because they want to be the central planner and tell other people what to do
