I empathize with your situation.
You are angry and are still emotionally processing and reacting to what has happened to you. Your mind is focused on looking backwards and stuck thinking about your former employer.
For me, what helped was: talking to the other people in your life - your friends and family, ideally in person. Get plenty of exercise and sunlight. Take a break from the screen and social media.
When you have had enough time and space to mentally reset, you may find that you're not thinking about your former job or former managers any more. Instead you'll be thinking about what you are doing in the moment, or what you would like to do next - and that mode of thinking will be much more interesting, and positive, and productive for you.
If in the short term you need to keep the income flowing in, to support yourself or your family, consider looking for a next job that may not be your dream job, but pays well enough, and is one that you don't keep thinking about when you clock off work. After a bad job, a new job with no mental/emotional/political baggage can feel somewhat like a holiday.
Once your short-term financial situation is stable, and your mind has settled down and can think about your future rather than being fixed looking back, it could be a good time to start thinking about and working toward a longer term goal - a goal of your own, not the goals of your employers.
