On Saturday, The Daily Signal posted an article about the midterm elections and some of the Democrat rhetoric leading up to the election. In recent years, some Democrats have had a very tenuous relationship with truth.
The article reports:
We had a midterm election in which the Democrats and the Left were wildly successful. There is one way in which this makes some of them look either deeply stupid or dishonest. Many of them who rejoice now tried to claim there wouldn’t be any more elections if Donald Trump won in 2024, or that he might cancel the midterms.
On Oct. 18, 2023, Rachel Maddow plugged her new book about American fascism on ABC’s “The View,” claiming that Trump is “basically portraying a future for America, if he is put back in the White House, in which we don’t have another election after that.” Then it got even dumber. Co-host Sara Haines claimed Trump would “cancel the news. Like, the news, you’re done.” Maddow agreed and added: “He wants to put MSNBC on trial for treason so that he can execute us.”
Insert “Twilight Zone” theme song here. But there’s more.
Right before the 2024 elections, then-MSNBC host Joy Reid ranted: “We’ve laid out the stakes in this crucial election, where one side stands for freedom, while the other meets the textbook definition of fascism.” Trump was Hitler, so: “Make sure that on the morning of Nov. 6, you can say that you are proud of what you did in this moment. That you didn’t sit out what could be our last election.”
Recently I posted this meme:
That statement sums up what actually happened vs. what the Democrats were claiming.
The article concludes:
On the June 17, 2026, “Jim Acosta Show,” Behar’s old colleague Rosie O’Donnell set off the bells on the Kook Alert: “We’re going to have an event here in the United States, maybe another ‘assassination attempt,’ and he’s going to declare that the elections are off,” she said, making quotation marks with her fingers as she said “assassination attempt.”
Rosie feverishly believes Trump wasn’t really shot in 2024. She was referring to the 2028 elections, so that wild-eyed theory isn’t disproven yet.
This is where people should roll their eyes when the Left complains about all the “misinformation” and evidence-free conspiracy theories creeping all over the conservative media. Every conspiracy theorist who suggested the midterms were going to get canceled should … get canceled. Democracy is still alive. It’s not dying in darkness. But the Left pretends there is no Democracy unless they win. Well, now they won. But nobody should expect them to stop the crazy talk. It’s a business model.
Listen to the Democrats at your own risk!
