Fired Fed. I am considering cu***ng off every Orange Man supporter.
The original poster (OP) recently experienced the trauma of being suddenly laid off from a job they highly valued. This event has caused significant emotional distress.
Following this job loss, OP has developed intense negative feelings directed toward friends and family members who supported the political figure referred to as the 'Orange Man.' While OP previously maintained civil relationships with these individuals despite political disagreements, the job loss has made it impossible for OP to overlook the political support these people show.
OP is now considering permanently ending these long-term relationships, either by making a formal announcement or by silently blocking everyone involved.
OP is struggling with whether these severe reactions are an overreaction and is questioning if they are wrong for considering cu***ng off ties with over 20 personal relationships.

The OP is currently in a highly emotional state, feeling personally betrayed by the actions of people they cared about, specifically linking their political choices to the negative professional outcome OP experienced.
The central conflict is between OP's need to protect their own emotional well-being following a trauma and the expectation to maintain long-standing personal relationships despite irreconcilable values.
The core question facing the reader is whether OP's reaction, which involves severing deep personal connections based on political alignment following a severe life event, is justified self-protection or an emotional overreaction.
Should OP prioritize immediate emotional healing by cu***ng ties, or attempt to navigate the situation by setting firm boundaries while preserving the history of the relationships?
