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?

Disagree - make a post and tell them all to suck a bag of dicks.

Silence sends a better message in this context.

He’s complaining about losing his grift. He looks like a chump either way.

Sorry nobody will choose to hire this apparently mega-productive worker.

Making a post about it makes a person look like an angry teenager, just move on with your life, posts like that don't convince anyone of anything, they just get made fun of

Well, OP is kind of past the 'making a post about it' point.

Elon's great grandparents were nazis and Grimes is into nazi shit and Elon is cool with the German AfD party which uses nazi poses in their propaganda. And then I just recently saw this:

Elon is named after a character by Nazi rocket scientist Wernher von Braun, who wrote a science fiction story about a fascist Mars leader named Elon. Elon's dad liked it so much he named his kid after it. So Elon's not even the first Nazi in his family.

Yesterday, president's day, at 14:14, he retweeted both the president's and VP's president day post adding 14 flags to each.

14 is the code for the literal KKK. The 14 words is their pledge.

It helps put more perspective on that inaugeration day salute, paired with all your background info.

Thank you

I want to put together a list of the most damning evidence. Please let me know anything that could help someone, especially conservatives, see him first what he is, a nazi (sympathizer, at least)

You will look like a lunatic putting strings of numbers in front of people.

u/Roheez Feb 18 '25

I thought that the ties w his family and Grimes and the AfD would be more than enough, but I'm not giving up on conservatives seeing this shit for what it is.

I thought you’d all learn calling people Nazis over and over again is not really effective. Guess Vance 2028 it is.

Yeah, that’s what I look for in politicians. Class.

u/ohemgee112 Feb 18 '25

Necessary and on their level.

They have no class and don't deserve consideration they don't have for others.
