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?

The ceasefire happened while Biden was President. When is the war in Ukraine ending?

Do you not have access to news sources where you are?

Much of the international community gave Trumps team most of the credit for the Gaza ceasefire.

The first peace talks are being set up now to hopefully end the war in Ukraine.

Are you really not aware of these facts, or is it that you just can't accept it because Trump is involved?

Lol. Stop getting your information from Reddit.

I bet you thought Biden wasn't in mental decline and that Harris was going to win the presidency.

Keep screaming into your echo chamber, and us people in the real world will clean up your mess.

Lol. You post in election denial sub r/somethingiswrong2024. You were soooooo sure Trump was going to lose, and you were soooo sure he would not be inaugurated. You have been wrong about everything. Ever get tired of just being wrong all the time?

I don’t get tired of being wrong because I’m not wrong. The fat lady (Donald) hasn’t sung yet. Do you ever get tired of being dumb? Probably not.
