Well don't you have rose colored glasses?
Seizing private land, businesses, and assets for "the public good", leading to mass exoduses of intellectuals and people with large asset holdings.
Spending billions of gov't money bulking up his military to prepare for or prevent "American invasion" when it would be better spent on his social programs.
Oppressing, threatening, and incarcerating political opposition and activists.
And generally scaring the sh*t out of his middle class and wealthy constituents.
