The US didn't overthrow the Venezuelan dictatorship, it merged it, this neo right wing isn't political, it is criminal, their goal is extraction & domination, not for the benefit of state or flag but for multinational offshore accounts, a kleptocratic global invasion.

Nicaragua is able to consolidate its dictatorship because the regime is in bed with Trump, accepting deportees; allowing certain agencies / interests to operate. Venezuela’s regime is also in bed with Trump. Expecting Mexico to intervene in a obvious US operation is nonsensical.
