Can you name just one example of a US armed "militia" intimidating a voter?

Facts don't win over committed ideologues.
He'll just tell you why this example is different and/or doesn't apply to the conversation and/or your point.
"Can you name JUST ONE example??!"
"Here's one"
"Nooooo that doesn't count!!! Those patriots are good people! They're just there to stop black people from stealing the votes"

I'm far more worried about BLM-style riots. Iirc, in Seattle they even managed to cordone off parts of the city, called them "autonomous zones" and declared themselves kingpins of the square, while the gov forces were ordered to not engage. The local citizens who lived there had to get over it. Only when BLM kingpins killed someone the gov forces had to engage.
A: Tactical teams with automatic weapons, sometimes snipers or air support now serve warrants and raid moderate risk suspects.
We don’t have a tyrannical government. The US unrest scenario is different than China as the citizenry is neutral or pro-government, but you have a vocal minority. We have reactionary political parties that use armed LARPer militias to intimidate voters and influence policy.
