Democrats continually portray themselves as defending democracy from the “MAGA extremists” and advocate for lax voting laws in the name of expanding the franchise to the alleged disenfranchised.
But all that pro-democracy talk from the left ends when the conversation turns to former President Donald Trump.
Two separate polls released this week indicate that enormous majorities of Democrats want states to dump Trump from the ballot.

The conservative Washington Stand on Monday reported on the first poll conducted by CBS News and YouGov.
It revealed that a whopping 81% of Democrats think states should disqualify Trump, as happened in Colorado and Maine.
A majority of four Democratic justices on the Colorado Supreme Court agreed to give Trump the boot, while in Maine, the state’s top elections official, also a Democrats, unilaterally removed Trump.
In both instances, the anti-Trump forces cited the 14th Amendment, the constitutional provision enacted after the Civil War to bar former Confederates from serving in the government.
Colorado and Maine officials erased Trump even though the amendment does not specifically apply to the office of the president, nor has Trump been formally charged with the federal crime of insurrection for his actions during the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol.
The second poll, released Tuesday, contained only slightly better news for Trump supporters.
Rasmussen Reports found that 66% of Democrats agree that Trump should be removed from state ballots.
Within that group, 50% of all Democrats “strongly approve” of deleting Trump.

Both surveys showed that those anti-Trump, anti-democracy Democrats are out of step with the rest of voters.
In the CBS/YouGov poll, 90% of Republicans and 56% of independents replied that Trump’s name ought to remain on ballots.
Rasmussen found that 80% of Republicans opposed Trump’s removal, as did 53% of independents.
Conservative columnist John Nolte, in discussing the Rasmussen survey, noted, “Democrats have twisted a huge majority of their voters into fascists willing to disenfranchise tens of millions of us by removing Our Guy from the ballot.”
“The Democrat party is nothing like it was pre-Barry Obama,” he added. “The corporate media, Big Tech, Hollywood, and the organized left have spread the mental illness of hate, supremacy, and bigotry to the rank-and-file. Not all of them, but enough that here we sit with 66 percent ready to turn America into a banana republic.”
