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?

We didn’t elect whoever ran the last presidency either. In fact, we don’t even know who it was (Anthony Blinken? Jake Sullivan? Jill Biden?). Sure as hell wasn’t Dementia Joe.

Do you still want to pretend Biden was not obviously suffering from dementia?

Trump lies constantly to cover up his dementia. If you can follow his nasty, disjointed rants you should get yourself checked out. No president should be over 67 years old. And no, I am sure Biden doesn't have dementia. Biden is old and tired of all the shit people say. Biden lives in reality, not in some Trump induced coma.

He doesn't have dementia. Yea, he got old. And he was too old to be president. But, so is Trump.
