Rep. James Clyburn’s ominous warning on ABC’s The View that he’s absolutely worried about free and fair elections this November isn’t just partisan hyperbole—it’s a chilling peek behind the curtain of Democrat anxiety as their grip on power slips. The South Carolina congressman, a key player in Biden’s inner circle and the man who delivered him the 2020 nomination, didn’t mince words: fears of voter suppression, election denialism, and who-knows-what-else could derail democracy itself. Coming from a figure who’s spent decades in Washington wielding influence over everything from gun control pushes to federal overreach, this reeks of projection. After all, it’s the left’s own history of lawfare, ballot harvesting scandals, and Big Tech censorship that has eroded trust in the electoral process far more than any January 6 fever dream.
For the 2A community, Clyburn’s freakout is a five-alarm fire signal. Remember, this is the same party that’s rammed through ATF rule changes on pistol braces and ghost guns, bypassed Congress with executive orders on assault weapons, and cheered the FBI’s raid on law-abiding gun owners under the guise of red flag protections. If they’re this panicked about losing in November—potentially handing Trump and pro-2A majorities the reins—what desperate measures might they take to cling to control? We’re talking preemptive strikes: more emergency regulations, state-level AG lawsuits against manufacturers like SIG Sauer or Glock, or even leveraging federal agencies to harass NRA members and FFL dealers ahead of the vote. Clyburn’s words echo the playbook from 2020, when COVID lockdowns were weaponized to suppress opposition turnout while mail-in ballots flowed unchecked.
The implications are crystal clear: 2A patriots must double down now. Stock up on ammo, support recalls against anti-gun DAs, and flood the midterms with votes that can’t be fortified. If Clyburn’s worry keeps him up at night, imagine the sleep he’ll lose when we reclaim the House, flip the Senate, and bury Biden’s gun-grab agenda for good. This isn’t just election chatter—it’s a call to arms for the Second Amendment defenders who know tyranny thrives when good men do nothing. Stay vigilant, stay armed, and let’s make November a reckoning.
