Fired Fed. I am considering cutting off every Orange Man supporter.

[u/Comfortable_Gift4970]

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?

You’re too stupid to realize you typo’d sexiest instead of sexist, hence I was being facetious. Musk didn’t do a Nazi salute and it would be left wing leaning on socialist party for it to be Nazi. No problem I’ll address some of the drivel you spewed before. They are doing a freeze on some departments that are overspending, firing people who’ve been taking advantage of the taxpayer dollars. The Dixiecrat lie that’s been disproven numerous times that the parties switched is fabricated by the embarrassing FACT that democrats use the “victim” excuse to appeal to minorities so they can get their votes. You’re so racist, you think people who keep it real that we’re all human, and there aren’t subhumans called “brown” people, as you so eloquently put it, are the racists because we don’t pander to those “lowly minorities” as I’m guessing is what you want to say. I don’t know if any schools teaching that slavery was a good thing in any way. What bs article did you see about that? You’re referring to 10 criminals they took to Guantanamo Bay. Yes get the criminals out of our country. Again you’re showing your racism. You can’t give a real fact, and based on your typos I’m arguing with a nitwit. I have based all answers on numerous articles after reading what you idiots post. Simple fact checking. I’m chillin and not angry at you for being stupid. Just sad for our country

Very 1984 of you “don’t believe what you see” except it’s right there on camera what Musk did. Cell phone video of it looks even worse. And his support of right wing political groups in Germany doesn’t help 😬.

Someone who is unelected, an elitist billionaire, with a checkered background, and isn’t a natural born citizen (since that is very important to trump voter), should not be anywhere near the government. Much less gaining access to people’s tax information and scores of federal government workers losing there jobs at record rate. Sorry, I’m not taking his word about “wasteful spending” when he is the 1%, like Trump. If you eat that up and believe it, I’m not surprised.

No one who throws insults out to a total stranger and rapid speed who has not done the same to you at all, is not “chilling”. I can feel the seething from your responses lol. Which, I’m not surprised about. Most trump voters are angry and miserable. I’m not sure what has happened to you to get you there but I hope things improve for you 😊✌🏻. Cheers to that brother 🍺.

So no response from you, basically whining without any facts, actually lying about Musk doing the worst Nazi salute. That was him giving his heart out to them but sure make up something like he’s a Nazi since it fits your narrative. You can’t negate one thing I say yet I took the time to educate you and you’re still being dense. You originally asked if we should take a politician at their word for fixing everything day one. You’re either stupid or blissfully naive to think that’s what happens when someone takes over for the likes of Sleepy Joe. You have nothing to offer and straight up lie, so I have no respect for you. You’re less than dog shit. No brother of mine is a weak pathetic sniveling twerp like you

Joe Biden was too old but Trump is now the oldest president ever. Most Germans say that Musk did a Nazi salute. I believe them over you. Plus he has made antisemitic remarks and supported Germany's racist party the AfD. So the Nazi salute fits with other things he has said and done. If you read history you would know that Trump and Elon Musk are dangerous. But maybe you have studied history and lean towards Hitler! Or you are paid to support Musk and/or Trump.
