Summary

At a Missouri town hall, Rep. Mark Alford faced backlash after telling fired federal workers that “God has a plan” for them and urging them to find new jobs, insisting the economy would improve.

Constituents, angered by Trump’s sweeping government cuts and Elon Musk’s influence, heckled Alford throughout the event. Similar protests have erupted nationwide, reflecting growing discontent.

Critics, including both Democrats and some conservatives, compared the movement to the Tea Party backlash in 2009.

Many federal employees fear further uncertainty under Trump’s policies.

    If god is real and benevolent. If god is real and is letting current situation in the world, then I don’t think we can make assumptions on they being any good for us.

      God could be real and benevolent, but just not paying attention. To paraphrase Epicurus:

      • Omnipotent
      • Omniscient
      • Benevolent

      Choose any two.
