Protesters at Republican event told "your voice is meaningless"
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.

No? Why wouldn't we be allowed to talk about the filthy nazis who are destroying the United States as we speak?
I was referring to Godwin's law not the government that the majority of American voters elected.
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.
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.
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.
You’re not wrong there but the leftists fucked with the voters just as hard.
Can you provide sources for what you're referring to?
Did you not see anything where the ‘progressives’ were calling Biden genocide Joe and saying Harris was the exact same?
Yeah, absolutely, but that's propaganda, not voter suppression. I wasn't even mentioning the propaganda, of which there was a vast amount of both for Trump and against Harris.
That propaganda had the effect of suppressing voting.
There's a difference between propaganda convincing people not to vote vs. voter suppression legally preventing them from doing so. Like it or not, I think propaganda is an inescapable reality of the world we live in, and I don't see any way to stop it without also suppressing speech. Truth in reporting laws would certainly help, but a huge amount of it is disseminated via social media by users.
Laws removing the ability to vote from a population that disproportionately skews politically in one direction or who are disproportionately of specific ethnicities is far more insidious and should be preventable.
