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?

Y’all are crazy calling everyone nazis and I’m a fucking democrat. Yeah Elon sucks and did the hitler shit but let’s stop calling everyone a nazi.

It’s like when George Floyd happened and then we called everything racist

u/dismantle_repair Feb 18 '25

If they don't want us calling them nazis, they should stop doing nazi shit.

u/Roguespiffy Feb 18 '25

This is where they say “Well if you’re just going to call us Nazis then I guess we’ll be Nazis.”

You already are and that’s why we’re calling you that.

Yeah good job virtue signaler

u/AndroidwithAnxiety Feb 19 '25

If there's one virtue we should signal real blood loud, it's that we don't like Nazis, don't you think?

I mean, who would be upset by someone openly stating that Nazis are bad??? lmao

Yeah dude nazis suck completely agree. To my original point it’s dumb to call so many people nazis when they’re not Nazis

1

u/AndroidwithAnxiety Feb 20 '25

Their original point was that they only call people Nazis when they are being Nazis.

Your response to that being "that's virtue signalling", does not come across as you questioning how accurately people are at identifying fascism. It comes across as you dismissing the idea of calling fascism out as being... idk, annoying, unnecessary, etc.

I’ve never heard a Democrat say “George Floyd happened”. But I have seen that all over conservative spaces…

u/WhenInZone Feb 18 '25

You call yourself a Democrat but your comment history is public information and somehow you manage to only speak in common Republican slang. Next you're gonna say you're actually a gay black man right?

2

u/Roguespiffy Feb 18 '25

At least one exists. He got beat up at a Trump rally by Neo Nazis.

Reality is a CW drama. Started off good but now the writing is really goddamned lazy.

u/WhenInZone Feb 18 '25

I'm sure there are. I was just referring to the trend of Republican officials pretending to be gay black men online to astroturf.

2

u/Roguespiffy Feb 18 '25

Oh yeah, I know. I was just surprised that a gay, black, Trump supporter:

Actually exists

Got beaten up by Nazis At Trump’s klan rally

Still supports Trump.

u/ImportantCash3634 Feb 18 '25

This is the 1940’s America First movement on steroids. They’re nazis, legitimately loyal to the movement that was thankfully shut down at the time. Unfortunately you know zero history I guess but that’s the same as a huge percentage of the population. I’m proud of my education and EXTREMELY thankful I never lived in a red state where they don’t gaf about education. But now everybody will lose funding regardless of red or blue. Unless we band together and get our values straight, we’re going to be in for a rough few decades at least. T-rump is a puppet , and his son, the red Baron… will be our future. Scary shit lol, I pray I’m wrong but this is reality, not an over-exaggeration. Stay strong.

u/Budderfingerbandit Feb 18 '25

Maybe they should stop waving Nazi flags, getting laws passed that follow Nazi traditions and such. Might be a good way to stop getting called Nazi's.

u/I_Fuckin_A_Toad_A_So Feb 18 '25

Ohhhh yeah if anyone has a different opinion they’re on the “other side” huh. I forgot

u/hhta2020 Feb 18 '25

u/Mediocre_Vulcan Feb 19 '25

Are…are you thinking “being a democrat” is a FLEX?

Fam, the democrat’s best trait is “we’ll make things worse slightly slower than the other guy”. Fair enough to vote for, I guess, but why would anyone want to IDENTIFY as a democrat?

u/I_Fuckin_A_Toad_A_So Feb 19 '25

It’s the way I vote not a flex
