In recent years, some Democrats have had a very tenuous relationship with truth.<\/p>\n<p>The article reports:<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>We had a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailysignal.com\/2026\/09\/22\/hanson-polls-story-2026-midterms\/\">midterm election<\/a> 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\u2019t be any more elections if Donald Trump won in 2024, or that he might cancel the midterms.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>On Oct. 18, 2023, Rachel Maddow plugged her new book about American fascism on ABC\u2019s \u201cThe View,\u201d claiming that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailysignal.com\/2026\/09\/12\/victor-davis-hanson-trump-comeback\/\">Trump<\/a> is \u201cbasically portraying a future for America, if he is put back in the White House, in which we don\u2019t have another election after that.\u201d Then it got even dumber. Co-host Sara Haines claimed Trump would \u201ccancel the news. Like, the news, you\u2019re done.\u201d Maddow agreed and added: \u201cHe wants to put MSNBC on trial for treason so that he can execute us.\u201d\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>Insert \u201cTwilight Zone\u201d theme song here.
