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.

    I feel voter suppressing propaganda is as big of a problem

    I agree with you that it’s a huge problem; I’m just not sure we have a simple / viable solution. Elon Musk can post something on Twitter that’s verifiably, indisputably wrong, and you can have 100,000 people posting hard evidence proving that it’s wrong, but Elon’s reach is greater than all 100k of them combined. It’s essentially impossible to counter social media propaganda as a result, and that was the case even before he owned the platform it’s being disseminated on.
