A protester at an Idaho town hall hosted by a Republican committee made remarks from the audience to several legislative members on stage.

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.

      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.

        No, Hitler did NOT have a people’s mandate. He had about 30% or less. Which interestingly seems to be the 30% of the population who are inherently authoritarian according to Altemeyer’s “The Authoritarians” book.

          They didn’t fuck with the vote

          They certainly did fuck with the voters, though - there was an absurd amount of well documented disenfranchisement leading up to this election. You can believe what you want to believe, but I choose to believe that if everyone who in previous elections had been eligible to vote had been allowed to this time, too, the result would have been different.
