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.

    Sounds like it to me.

    John F. Kennedy: ‘Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.’

      Has there ever been a peaceful revolution? I can’t think of any. Rights are taken from the oppressors, not given by them.

        Well, yes there has been. It was so peaceful its historically even called the “Velvet Revolution” where the people of Czechoslovakia decided equally and peacefull to split into two countries, the Czech Republic and Slovak Republic (Slovakia). source

          Gandhi, murdered. MLK, murdered. Bobby Kennedy, murdered. Medgar Evers, murdered. Need I go on?

          Of those, only Gandhi was associated with a revolution, and even in his case it seems like the way it played out (with the partition into India and Pakistan as separate countries) was much more along the lines of what some of the less non-violent revolutionaries wanted.
