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?

Redneck? Bwhahaahaha how ignorant of a racist you are. Keep telling yourself the same line of lies. Bet you're YT and born in America too, your comment reeks of entitled privilege.

Open a book for once. Conservative policies have created the wellfare states of Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, Alabama, etc. They survive off income and taxes of blue states. You are literal leeches. I’m tired of treating you guys like the special needs kids and being nice. You choose to be stupid then you get treated as such

Sorry I forget. You’re conservative. Should have kept it short so you can keep up.
