Nobody is this stupid. You're being intentionally dishonest.
USDA isn't the private sector. There are strict rules against firing the vast majority of employees. It's why Trump has largely gone after probationary employees, as they have less protections. Even that has been wrapped up in several different ongoing court cases.
There are also mortgage forbearance programs designed for temporary job loss. Even without them, foreclosure is a lengthy process. It's not something that's initiated after one missed payment.
So for this story to be true:
All of this is possible. The world is a strange place. However the confluence of all those things being true is highly improbable, perfectly matches the "dumb conservatives gonna regret their choice" narrative progressive influencers push, and is sourced from a platform known for being full of misinformation and bait.
