I would agree depending on the control of media. People only woke up to the genocide in Palestine due to the widespread usage of a non-US-controlled social media: tiktok. As the US moves in its efforts to ban or purchase alternative media (also including ban of Russian media in the EU), they will possibly be able to control the narrative, yet to be seen. For now, all US citizens are convinced that Maduro is an unpopular criminal dictator and have no idea of the effect of US sanctions on Venezuelan economy and the desperate suffering that they're causing, and are therefore primed to accept an invasion.
