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.

        As of now, they’re still (allegedly) obeying court orders and at least giving lip-service to the idea that courts are to be respected.

        At some point, they’ll openly defy courts without even pretending to follow them.

        I feel that falls under “soap box”: using a platform to convince others that your cause is morally right and the government should listen to you.

          incorrect. that would be indirect action. you should instead be using the direct actions of nonviolent sabotage and economic coercion
