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.
So let me get this straight
This woman and group, who are clearly against Trump, and obviously not Republicans , but highly probably are Democrats, are protesting against “something”, which as per the article is “still unclear”
But let’s say they are protesting against Trump EOs and against Elon for the sake of argument
So first thing, the title and framing of this post makes it looks like it is “Republicans” protesting against Trump, when it is clearly not the case
Second, what were they expecting? Protesting now, specifically after the elections are done and none of their executive actions has had any real world effect is meaningless, at least for them.
In their eyes, and particularly on the eyes of the law, the victory gives them every right to dismiss their opposition’s concerns.
After all they are their opposition. They certainly don’t expect any leeway from them
Demoralizing? Sure! Were they expecting to be cheered on by the guy they are protesting against? Poppycock!
I agree with all except this part. Many people have lost their jobs already.
