In Venezuela, ever since the late 80s, every time someone is bothering us by being monotonous or repetitive, the go-to comeback is “More of this, Abigail?” Abigail was a Venezuelan soap opera filled with absolutely hilarious drama. It spanned 257 hour-long chapters, and by the end it had managed to annoy an entire country. The most recent time I heard the expression, it came from a neighbor, who was watching Venezuelan opposition politician Antonio Ledezma saying that the only way to push María Corina Machado’s presidential bid was by “engaging in civil disobedience.” Ledezma, who mysteriously escaped house arrest for coup-plotting charges in 2017 and lives in exile in Spain, expressed that it was “normal” and “natural” for María Corina, who is currently serving a 15-year ban on holding public office, to be in contact with military officials to bring her 2024 plans to fruition. https://venezuelanalysis.com/tales-resistance/15840
