Democrat Rep. Dan Goldman just dropped a bombshell on CNN’s The Arena, accusing President Trump of masterminding a scheme to sabotage the midterms by deploying ICE agents into Democrat-run cities. Goldman’s wild theory? Trump is deliberately stoking urban tensions with immigration enforcement, paving the way to invoke the Insurrection Act and straight-up cancel elections. It’s the kind of unhinged rhetoric that makes you wonder if these folks have been binge-watching dystopian thrillers or if this is just the latest panic button in the left’s playbook to demonize border security.
Let’s peel back the layers on this hysteria. Goldman’s fear-mongering isn’t just about elections—it’s a desperate deflection from the Biden-Harris border catastrophe that’s flooded cities with unvetted migrants, spiking crime and straining resources. Trump deploying ICE? That’s not a plot; it’s enforcing federal law, something the current administration treats like an optional suggestion. The Insurrection Act invocation he’s clutching pearls over was last seriously floated amid 2020’s riots, when blue-city mayors begged for federal help they wouldn’t admit to needing. Goldman’s spin ignores that reality, framing law and order as authoritarianism. Clever, right? Paint the guy promising to secure the border as the dictator while sanctuary cities burn.
For the 2A community, this is a flashing red warning light. If Dems like Goldman can casually toss around cancel elections accusations against a pro-gun president enforcing immigration law, imagine the precedents they’re normalizing for future crises. We’ve seen how they weaponize insurrection labels post-January 6 to erode rights—next time tensions flare (and they will, with open borders fueling chaos), expect calls to federalize National Guard units, sideline state authority, and restrict armed citizens under the guise of public safety. 2A patriots know the score: a disarmed populace is ripe for manipulated emergencies. Stock up, stay vigilant, and vote like your rifles depend on it—because in their fever dreams, they just might.
