Summary

Protesters at a Kootenai County Republican Central Committee town hall in Idaho were forcibly removed after criticizing Trump policies, including the Elon Musk-led DOGE.

Event organizers dismissed their concerns, with one emcee saying, “Your voice is meaningless.”

Similar protests occurred in Georgia and Oklahoma, where Republicans faced criticism over mass layoffs.

Lawsuits have been filed against the administration over the legality of these dismissals.

    Don’t you see that this is exactly what they want to impose violent crackdowns on violent protesters?

    Right now is basically ride it out until the 2026 midterms and hope people actually show up to vote this time.

      If you believe they’re going to let an election happen without it being rigged to hell and back, I’ve got a bridge to sell you.

                  Didn’t Hitler also have the “peoples mandate” as the fucking fascist trash looooove to keep repeating?

                  Just baaaarely over half the voting public. If one were to trust that Elon and the other traitors didn’t fuck with the votes.

                  Seeing how they’re acting now, I don’t believe for a second that 2024 was legitimate.

                    I’ve heard the ‘they stole the vote’ line from the republicans too ever since Biden won.

                    They didn’t fuck with the vote, eighty million people decided they didn’t care if Trump won so they sat on their asses on Election Day.

                    I’m not the one you should be mad at.

          I agree violence should never be the answer but when the people in charge control everything from justice to every part of gouvernement little choice remain

            How many guns do you have where you think you can take on ‘every part of the government?’.

            Violence isn’t the answer but voting the next chance you have is.

            More people should have voted in 2024 and this wouldn’t be a problem.

                  What “little choice remains” means is that your choices are defending your rights or capitulating.
