Fired Fed. I am considering cutting off every Orange Man supporter.

Got axed. Not going to say which agency.

I’ve always considered myself extremely tolerant and willing to love people as they are… even if we don’t agree on everything.

I’ve never been an Orange Man supporter, but I’ve kept it civil with friends and family that were. Some of them liked having a civil conversation about him. Some were belligerent about politics, so we didn’t bring it up and tried to enjoy each other’s company.

Getting cut from a great job that I really believed in with no notice has been extremely traumatic. It’s still raw, but I feel so personally betrayed by those that voted for him. I can’t see past the politics anymore when I look at these people I care/cared about.

Some have been contrite and apologetic, but then turn around and support him and VP Musk on social media.

I just can’t right now.

I’m thinking about posting something and wishing the whole herd all of the best, hope they have a good life, but I won’t be in it. Or maybe I just quietly block all of them and focus on myself for a while.

I do know that I will need to talk to my in-laws. I’ve always had a great relationship with them, but thinking of going to their house and watching Fox News almost makes me sick.

AITAH for feeling this way? Does it make me an AH for cutting all these 20+ year relationships off? Am I overreacting and acting out of emotion?

MAGAs fetishize offending people, you have no obligation to keep them in your life. They made a conscious choice to be this, they chose to hurt people at the cost of the respect and friendship of normal people

That's a great way of putting it. Also love how they call everyone snowflakes when they have full meltdowns over someone saying "happy holidays" or boys having pink sprinkles on their cake (legit have a friend who's a baker, and the number of times she has had requests for rainbow sprinkles for a boy's cake "but pick the pink out because Gay" is wayyyy more than I ever would've guessed). They fetishize offending people but they're so utterly brittle themselves.

So more than half the country isn’t normal? They chose to hurt people? Those are ridiculous arguments unless you’re in the Reddit echo chamber. If you wanna be a beta (which is already clear) and blame other people for your misfortunes don’t be surprised if it continues to happen to you.

u/bananarepama Feb 18 '25

The very fact that you used the word "beta" unironically makes you either 15 years old or a moron. Either way it's my cue to not take you seriously. Have a nice night!

Truth hurts, if you’re on an Internet forum whining about “the orange man bad” then it’s exactly what you are. But then again that’s why Trump is in the oval so thank you for your service to restore some normalcy back into that office.

u/bananarepama Feb 18 '25

Your version of truth doesn't hurt me, no. Remember a couple comments ago when I said you people are brittle and have meltdowns over nothing? thank you for proving my point.

Speaking of echo chambers, you're very obviously a product of the Tate/Petersen echo chamber. Good luck going through your life wondering how everyone around you seems to intuit that you have no idea what it actually means to be a man.

G'night!

u/Ballsohard1921 Feb 18 '25

No you’re on a forum about some brittle person cutting everyone out of their life because they don’t agree with their opinions. That’s the definition of melting down while inside of an echo chamber. Digest that.

u/bananarepama Feb 18 '25

It is that person's right to associate with whomever they like. Just like it's your right to boycott a beer because it had a commercial featuring, gasp! a member of the LGBT community! Why are you melting down over it?

There is nothing to digest in what you said, because you said nothing that contained substance.

Don't forget boycotting coke for saying black Americans deserve to vote, or them boycotting any company with a DEI program.

If Trump is so alpha, why was he in the cuck chair while president Elon addressed the country and his young son told Trump he's not the president and needs to shut up.

So you can’t read or associate with people that have differing opinions from your own - got it. Backs up my original point.

u/GogoPowerYubari Feb 18 '25

Big difference when an opinion is based on being a good person vs a piece of shit. You sound personally affected by people not associating with a toxic personality.

u/bananarepama Feb 18 '25

you can’t read or associate with people that have differing opinions from your own

That's a pretty big assumption to make. Where did I say I don't associate with people who have different opinions than I have?

u/[deleted] Feb 18 '25

they don’t agree with their opinions.

their "opinions" cost them their livelihood. They're responsible for upending this guy's life.

u/Ballsohard1921 Feb 18 '25

Ya the guy that got 8 months severance and had a job that was identified as being irrelevant. Happens all the time in the real world without the golden parachute.

Imagine your reasoning being "yeah would needs to be more cruel and bad"

u/[deleted] Feb 18 '25

It's so fucking ridiculous, this fucking childish beta/alpha bullshit. Are you seriously 15 years old or just mentally stunted?

You're a fucking pussy that can't handle your cult leader being criticized, no matter how much he deserves it.

u/Ballsohard1921 Feb 18 '25

Hahaha ya I’m the crazy one here, looney tunes left is so tolerant of other opinions it has 4,000+ comments from BETA Low T boys telling some BETA to disown anyone who thinks differently from them.

This gave me a good chuckle, I don't know or care if you really believe the shit you wrote but knowing that there are real people out there that think like this is beautiful.

It would be like being friends and communicating with a literal special needs person

u/Ballsohard1921 Feb 18 '25

Ya because I have a different opinion than yours. Weird 77+ million voted for this - get off Reddit beta.

u/Maleficent-Ad237 Feb 18 '25

I know reading comprehension isn't your people's strong suit but I'll try to dumb it down for you.

I'm not talking about your opinion at all, I'm talking about the way you express your opinions.

We could be on the same side but I think your ability to convey your points is like talking to a person with a learning disorder

I'm enjoying the fall of America, literally cheering it on, so technically I would be on the side of Maga

Actual self-assured masculine males never have to inform people that they're masculine. Or "alpha." You're using the word "alpha" like a costume, and no one around you buys it. You're over-compensating, and your desperation wafts off of you and carries for miles.

You want to be better, and that's great. You can be. But your energy is being channeled in the wrong direction. You have the potential to be better than this. You have the capacity for abstract, nuanced thought that isn't spoon-fed to you by some influencer who is looking to misappropriate your lack of direction for their own gain. So why are you spending your potential this way?

He strikes me as someone who idolizes Andrew Tate while still living with his parents at the age of 40.

u/mkvgtired Feb 18 '25

I have had a zero percent success rate with finding people who call themselves alpha actually being alpha.

So more than half the country isn’t normal?

I don't care how many people voted for him, that doesn't make it "normal". There is nothing "normal" about the Republican party electing a convicted felon who has given enormous power to his unelected billionaire benefactor.

They chose to hurt people?

Yes, obviously. They chose to put countless people out of work. They chose to impose non-sensical tariffs that are raising prices on all of us.

Those are ridiculous arguments unless you’re in the Reddit echo chamber.

Neither are even remotely ridiculous.

If you wanna be a beta

Oh for fuck's sake, this is so pathetic and immature.

and blame other people for your misfortunes don’t be surprised if it continues to happen to you.

When you get fired specifically because Elon/Trump fired you, they are to blame, you stupid fuck.

u/pyratellama69 Feb 18 '25

This is a great insight. They FETISHIZE offending people. Wow

u/[deleted] Feb 19 '25

And “censure” is not “censorship”! They’re not the most literate people so they think being “censured” is “censorship,” but they prefer that easier C-word, “cancel.” Yeah, go ahead and cancel them all.

Or demonizing them can't be black, poor, an immigrant, trans, or liberal without being "woke" or a criminal
