Similarly, despite having a rule forbidding listing any real-world examples that are more recent than four decades, the Vote Early, Vote Often trope page's real life examples section explicitly rejects the notion that voter fraud was widespread (as well as citing the [[fake news]] site ''[[Washington Post]]'' as its proof for being rare) during the 2010 decade and falsely implies that Republicans and Conservatives simply were "delusional" for believing it, and even accusing the Republican congressional candidate of North Carolina of doing the same.<ref>https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/VoteEarlyVoteOften

Donald Trump has made sweeping accusations against Democrats, from claiming that millions of illegal immigrants voted against him in California in 2016, to claiming people  voted multiple times via donning disguises in the 2018 midterm elections. This was widely mocked by people tweeting multiple images purporting to be the disguises they wore to cast more than one ballot.

That election also had a high-profile case in North Carolina's ninth district where absentee ballots were meddled with in various ways to favor the Republican candidate.</ref> It also calls "cure your gays" a "discredited" trope despite the fact that ex-homosexuals do exist.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v--BuHXVA70&feature=youtu.be</ref>

The real life section of the trope "Blind Obedience" hints that conservative people never question authority and falsely labels fascism as part of the right-wing, though this does not describe all conservatives; in fact, there are even some liberals and a lot of leftists that display a lot of blind obedience more than what TV Tropes accuses conservatives of being. It also implies that conservative leaders are the ones who have zero tolerance for any dissent, when such a description actually matches left-wing dictatorships and left-wing leaders more (eg, Karl Marx was known to throw out anyone who dared suggest he might even slightly be wrong in his thinking).<ref>https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BlindObedience</ref>
