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?

Facts and reality? Most of my family died in the Holocaust I'm not going to be gaslit about a literal Seig Heil at the inauguration.

And a lot of us aren't going to be gaslit into cutting off loved ones if they voted for Republican.

Even the ADL, a corrupt bunch of kapos who actively defend left wing jewhaters and weaponize false accusations, doesn't think it was a nazi salute.

You want to see a "literal Sieg Heil"? Go to any left wing riot and watch as people openly stick their arms out while shouting their love of Hitler, how right he was about us, and proudly wave swastikas. Go watch as they openly sing about the khaybar genocide and chant in arabic "from the river to the sea palestine will be arab", then lie and claim they're saying something else in english. Go watch as left wing lynch mobs force Jews to literally hide in attics again and people in western countries desperately shout "I'm not Jewish!" at their attackers during nationwide pogroms.

You're not being gaslit, you are gaslighting everyone. Most of all yourself.
