Yes.  Well over half the people I worked with there have fled the country.  I helped one guy get a job in Saudi Arabia (and now in China).  I helped another catch  on in Canada.  Others have moved to Argentina (2), Chile (3), Ecuador (1), Peru (2), Colombia (4), Portugal (1), Spain (1), and Brasil (1).  

Much of my extended family there has left although the ex-father-in-law, who has land there (people still need food) has stayed.  Sister-in-law died of breast cancer and could not get the right medicines.  She likely would have survived here - but would have needed insurance, of course.  She and I went through cancer at the same time, but I beat it.  Prostate cancer isn't as serious anyway.  

I visited 1-2 times per year every year between 2002 and 2015, sometimes for 2 weeks at a time.  So I saw the whole thing very clearly.  I do have friends there who are/were Chavistas so it was also possible to hear a conflicting view.  In my opinion, Rory Carroll of The Guardian wrote the definitive account of what was wrong with the Chavez administration in his excellent book Commandante.  It all rang true.

What else is scary?  Here are some parallels I see between Chavez and Trump:

1) Cult-like devotion of a dedicated poor class propping up support despite clear evidence of problems

2) Leader has a kind of ego-driven messiah complex - wants to be seen as a transformative savior but doesn't have the skills to pull it off

3) Demonizes (or in case of Chavez, closes) unfavorable media outlets

4) Demands absolute loyalty and promotes many family members to high-ranking positions in the government.  And these people become rich or richer for having been there.

5) Promotes ideologues rather than competent technocrats into key government (or PdVSA, in Venezuela) positions.  These people make their organizations weaker.  Hires some good people, but either fires or runs them off when they don't tell him what he wants to hear.

6) Demonizes and even name-calls all opposition - like a 4th-grader

7) Uses Twitter to bypass reporters and take his message "straight the people."  Despite that message being muddled and sometimes demonstrably false, they eat it up, perhaps liking the novelty of having someone speak more directly to them.

8) Stokes fires of nationalism but to dangerous levels  

The one thing we haven't seen Trump do yet is destroy the value of the currency.  Monetary policy was an enormous problem in Venezuela.  Could it become a problem here?  Maybe, but it isn't there yet.
