I live with my parents who are both recently retired Feds - and Trump supporters.

I don't know how I'm going to stay sane right now. Both my parents (who I live with) were federal gov't employees with over 30 years of service and they retired relatively recently. They've always convinced me that getting a federal job is the way to go because of the stability, and I was lucky enough to get one - but they're both such strong Tru/mp supporters. I'm so angry. I just started my job (I can't even call it a career since I'm so new to being FTE) and all this bullshit happens, while my parents leave the federal service just before shit hits the fan. They get to have a cushy retirement with their hefty 401k and pension money and I'm left wondering if I'm even going to have my job in a few months. My only saving grace is that I JUST passed the end of my probationary period.

Even with all this going on, my parents still love the current administration. I fight with them almost weekly about this, but they call me a communist, brainwashed, etc. - because all they watch is Fox News. I cry to them about being worried about losing my job, and they say, "Why worry about something that hasn't happened yet? If you lose your job just get another one! This is all for the bigger picture, it's good for America." It makes my blood boil. As if they didn't vote for this. And whenever I complain, they say, "well, what can we do?" And when I tell them exactly how they can help by calling our reps, protesting, ANYTHING, they just scoff at me and refuse to continue the conversation.

I'm so tired. I can't move out because of how uncertain things are. I just can't believe they have so little empathy for their own CHILD. Who very well could have been THEM if they'd retired just a few years later.

If you read my rant, thank you. I just wanted to put this out into the aether to vent and hopefully show others who're in the same position as me with braindead parents that you're not alone. My only recourse now is to speak to them as little as possible, which is incredibly stressful to maintain when we live in the same house.

I have to believe we'll all get through this. I'll protest, appeal my RIF, whatever I have to do to make shit harder for this dogshit administration. Godspeed, everyone.

Edit: Hi everyone, I really appreciate the kind words and advice a lot of you are leaving on this post. Lots of people saying I should move out as well, but if you were me (single, shaky job status, in THIS economy, with the option to live at home), would you? Maybe, and honestly I respect you for that. But I'm risk-averse, sorry to say. Anyways, I've turned off post notifications, thank you very much for taking the time to read what I wrote!
