TRUMPERS ARE TRYING TO PHYSICALLY PREVENT BIDEN SUPPORTERS FROM VOTING

I'll agree that this is free speech:

However, this isn't:

The blockade was lifted:

But think about what you're watching here:

I know that Trumpers believe that you can't trust mail ballots, but these are flesh-and-blood voters showing up to a polling place, where poll workers will verify their credentials for voting. (There are also mail voting safeguards, of course.)

I believe Trumpers will attack the voting process all over the country. I believe they'll intimidate voters at other polling places in Democratic-leaning areas. I think they'll vandalize ballot drop-off boxes. And this is in addition to the inevitable "ballot security" efforts from the Republican Party that will probably involve armed off-duty cops intimidating non-white voters at the polls, a tactic used in 1981 by the successful Roger Stone-led campaign for New Jersey's GOP gubernatorial candidate, Tom Kean, and subsequently declared illegal in a court settlement that expired very recently.

I see no evidence that Trumpers care about democracy -- they care about winning, by any means necessary. They believe that every Democratic vote is illegitimate. They'll do whatever they can get away with.
