Well, at least co-host Joy Behar of “The View” is honest about being deceptive.

HBO host Bill Maher was the same when he openly stated not long ago that Democrats are hoping for a recession.

In Behar’s case, she is OK if the Democrat Party lies to its constituents — then forcibly takes away their constitutional rights.

In my opinion, these people should be voted out of power everywhere and immediately.

“Politicians seeking to confiscate guns from Americans shouldn’t share their plans with the public beforehand and should seek to maintain an element of surprise,” Joy Behar said on “The View” on Monday,” as Fox News reported.

“Behar was discussing former 2020 presidential hopeful Beto O’Rourke, a Democrat from Texas, and said it was foolish of him to announce his plans for gun confiscation before he was elected. She advised all politicians to go after the country’s guns after they’ve assumed office,” the same outlet reported.

“They should not tell everything they’re going to do. If you’re going to take people’s guns away, wait until you get elected — then take the guns away,” she said, as Fox News also noted.

“Don’t tell them ahead of time.”

One would think that Behar, living in New York City, would know better than to say that.

People who are anti-gun advocates are the first to support those who use a gun to protect themselves and their family from bodily harm from someone who breaks into their house in the middle of the night.

Why do Democrats always make statements that strengthen Trump’s political base?

Whatever one’s position on the issue, we should be horrified at the totalitarian mindset that more and more often seems to be expressed today.

People no longer care about the means, and of course the means is what makes representative democracy what it is — that is, we accept election results whether we like them or not. We assume innocence until guilt is proved. We take positions we don’t like at all unless and until they are changed legitimately — and so on.

This is totalitarian. Yes, the MEANS count.

The funny thing is I will never vote for a Democrat again. That’s my personal position. The action from Democrats has shown their path going forward — and we will not live like that.

The Supreme Court has said that the “Second Amendment protects an individual’s right to possess a firearm unconnected with service in a militia, and to use that arm for traditionally lawful purposes, such as self-defense within the home.”

Yet Democrats want to take away Americans’ guns — that is the end goal of all of their anti-Second Amendment plans, it seems to me.

Every time a Democrat claims, “No one wants to take your guns,” remember that they admitted that they do want to do this.

Not to mention when Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) was interviewed on “60 Minutes” and said she would have done the same “but didn’t have the votes at the time.”

For decades the Democrats have claimed no one wants to take guns away from their owners. Every gun owner knew they were lying.

Now the Democrats are emboldened enough to admit they want to take away people’s constitutional rights.

It is not about guns or the Green New Deal or climate change — it is all about power structure and control.

It’s opinions like Behar’s that are making this independent voter more than happy to pull that lever and vote red straight down the line.

I will never give up my constitutionally protected rights.

If Dems want a civil war, they’ll listen to Joy Behar’s ignorant ideas.
