>>This is EXACTLY how the Nazi’s behaved..this “Group” says they are against fascism..NO, they ARE the fascists, they are the real Nazi party..just better dressed..if I were Tucker Carlson and these scum came to my house I’d shoot every single one of them

An armed black Republican voter had the same response in 1920 when the Democrat KKK invaded his house (broke in). They did ultimately lynch him.

And Commie Vice whitewashed the party political affiliations from their account of the story.

Here’s wiki’s account

Events preceding election day
Orange County, as well as the rest of Florida, had been “politically dominated by Southern white Democrats” since the end of Reconstruction.[3] But, in the weeks leading up to the presidential election of 1920, African Americans throughout the South were registering to vote in record numbers.[1] The mass registration coincided with the resurgence of the Ku Klux Klan in the early twentieth century, providing a tense racial and political climate. Three weeks before election day, the KKK had warned the African-American community that “not a single Negro would be permitted to vote.”[4]

Judge John Moses Cheney, a Republican running for the Florida Senate, had started a voter registration campaign to register African Americans to vote in Florida, as they then supported the Republican Party.[3] Mose Norman and July Perry, both “prosperous African-American landowners in Ocoee,” led the local voter registration efforts in Orange County, paying the poll tax for those who could not afford it.[3] In an effort to preserve white one-party rule, the Ku Klux Klan “marched in full regalia through the streets of Jacksonville, Daytona and Orlando” to intimidate opponents,[5] and threatened Judge Cheney prior to the election.[3]

Election day
African-Americans were met with resistance from the white community when they attempted to vote on election day. Poll workers challenged whether African-American voters were really registered.[6] The voters had to prove they were registered by appearing before the notary public, R. C. Biegelow, who was regularly sent on fishing trips so that he was impossible to find.[6] However, African Americans, including Mose Norman, persisted but were “pushed and shoved away” from the polls.[6]

Norman contacted Judge John Cheney, who told him that interference with voting was illegal and told him to write the names of the African Americans who were denied their constitutional rights, as well as the names of the whites who were violating them.[7] Norman later returned to polling place in Ocoee with a shotgun. Whether the shotgun was taken from Norman is not entirely clear, but whites at the polls drove off Norman using his own shotgun.[7][8]

The white community began to form a mob and paraded up and down the streets, growing “more disorderly and unmanageable.”[7] The rest of the African Americans gave up on trying to vote and left the polling place.[7] Later during the evening, Colonel Sam Salisbury, a prominent white man who was a native New Yorker and a former chief of police of Orlando,[9] was called to lead a lynch mob to “find and punish Mose Norman.”[3] He later proudly proclaimed his part in the following events.[5]

Invasion of Perry’s home
The white mob was on its way to Norman’s home when someone informed them that their target had been seen at the home of July Perry.[7] The mob, by then numbering about 100 men, arrived at Perry’s house, demanding that Perry and Norman surrender.[9] when they received no answer, they attempted to break down the front door.[9] Perry, who had been warned about the mob, fired gunshots from inside the home in self-defense.[9] Exactly how many people were defending the house is uncertain; the whites estimated that there were several armed African Americans. Zora Neale Hurston wrote that Perry had defended his home alone.[10] Sam Salisbury knocked the back door open and was shot in the arm,[10] becoming the first white casualty.[9] Two other whites, veterans Elmer McDaniels and Leo Borgard,[8] were killed when they also tried to enter through the back door.[10] Their bodies were found hours later in the backyard.[8]

The white mob withdrew and put out a call for reinforcements to whites in Orlando, Apopka and Orange County, either calling them by phone or sending for them by car.[10] During the two- to three-hour lull while the whites were recruiting other men, July Perry, injured in the battle, attempted to flee with the help of his wife into a cane patch.[11] He was found by the white mob at dawn and arrested.[11] After Perry was treated at a hospital for his wounds, he was taken by a white mob from a vehicle while being transferred to a jail. They lynched him,[8] “and left his body hanging from a telephone post beside the highway.”[11] Norman was never found...
