If I remember correctly, the real-life founder of the FSLN stated that had the FSLN won, they would have made sure they were in power for life, including rigging votes. Thankfully, they haven't won. Though I agree, Chico's not likely to be Solidus (heck, Chico's being of non-American birth alone would have made his being President of the USA a constitutional violation itself, and Solidus already skated the line as it was with his age, even if his older appearance allowed him to pass for someone older). While America itself does not support the FSLN (for good reason, if you want my take on it, because I will not support Marxists, regardless of their reasons for subscribing to it, as they murdered many of my religion, among other religions and groups), individual Americans, primarily those of the Left, have, such as Ed Asner.
