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.
God isn’t real so it sounds like you just don’t have a fucking plan.
The plan: get a Saturday night special at the local pawn shop and imitate Luigi.
Religion is such a great way to control people.
"Religion has actually convinced people that there’s an invisible man living in the sky who watches everything you do, every minute of every day. And the invisible man has a special list of ten things he does not want you to do. And if you do any of these ten things, he has a special place, full of fire and smoke and burning and torture and anguish, where he will send you to live and suffer and burn and choke and scream and cry forever and ever 'til the end of time!
But He loves you… Now, you talk about a good bullshit story. Holy Shit!"
-Obligatory George Carlin
Separate your church and state, bitch.
That’s the opposite of what they want though
Their God’s plan was to fire their asses.
God has a history of sending plagues and has promised Armageddon.
Pretty sure that’s literally their plan.
Yeah, they’ve been trying to speed run the apocalypse.
“God has a plan”. And what part of that plan is going to help these people pay their bills?
The governor of Virginia made a similar plea after Trump fired thousands of workers from the state. He promised to come up with a “plan” to help them. And of course, we all know what this plan is: (1) Give people a bunch of lip service to appease them, (2) Repeat step 1 until something else makes the news, (3) never mention it again. And of course, he has no idea what the hell these workers are supposed to do in the meantime.
Eventually, the GOP will solve the problem of continually angering their own voters by not having town halls and considering the problem solved.
goddamn glenn youngkin sucks. i hate him and his stupid fucking vest. i’m so glad the democrats could use virginia as an experiment to see if being exclusively anti trump with no other campaign strategy could win an election, and then learn nothing when they fucking lost
And the devil has a plan for you, Mr.Alford.
Maybe his plan is we overthrow the tyrants attempting to seize complete control over our society.
That’s the same thing they’d say to a cancer patient.
It’s not an incorrect metaphor for the current administration.
They’re calling Elon god now?
A plan? Like arming up and stop the coup?
Did God fire them? Sounds like God has nothing to do with this really. And weren’t we given free will? How’s God gonna make someone create new jobs?
Republican Economic Policy:
‘Thoughts and Prayers.’
… that would have been attacked as a hyperbolic, cynical smear 10 years ago.
Now it just actually is the policy.
Well I think we’d all very much like to hear a plan better than “Jesus take the wheel”, you fucking dipshit.
