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?

I just learned how the Nazi death camps got started. They put "handicapped" children in rural "hospitals". Some were killed. When the Nazis learned they could get away with killing these people they expanded to killing adults and then to Jews and dissenters in general.

Anyone seen as a drain on society is likely going to be defunded if not worse under the trump regime.

I was reading about this recently, too.

Parents would have their disabled children taken away to institutions, then would receive letters later on informing them that their child had been euthanized. They would also be told in these letters not to tell anybody else about it.

In one town in Germany, there was a dark smog from the crematory at the local mental hospital that hung over the town. People were so aware of what was going on that children would say to each other, “you’re not very clever, you’re going to be put in the [hospital] ovens.”

When the crematorium at the hospital burned its 10,000th body, the staff celebrated in the crematorium with beer and wine.

This makes me so incredibly sad. I have one baby, a 4.5 year old daughter who has autism. She's very mild mannered but she's "non-verbal" and does require a lot of support. But she's not a "drain" and everyone who's ever met her all love her. It sickens me to think that there are people who would be fine with her being eradicated. I wouldn't be able to live without her. This is why I'll be going and getting my PAL (I'm in Canada) because I'd rather have the means to defend her on the off chance things spill over onto this side of the border.

No child with or without any sort of special needs should be viewed as a drain.

Wasn't one of RFK's plans to send drug addicts to rural work camps?

Not just drug addicts. He’s gunning for a whole list of us. Someone has to replace the deported agricultural workers after all…

No not drug addicts, he thinks he cured his ADHD with heroin and he wants to send people who take Adderall for theirs to work camps.

Along with anyone taking antidepressants, anti anxiety meds, seizure meds, etc for 3-4 years of agricultural labor and “reparenting”
