I didnt have much to begin with only lost about 12k, I have nothing anyway. My mother lost roughly 100k in her retirement fund from all this crashing. My grandmother even more. How much have you lost in Trump’s Tantrum Tariffs game?

    Fuck your stocks. How many trans friends have you lost and did you even really care until it started affecting the economy. Fuck your stocks.

      You know, it’s possible to feel emotions about two different things at the same time.

      You can feel bad about the economy if you want, and also bad about how the government treats people. You don’t have to choose one or the other.

      Try it!

          I’m glad you’re losing money, it brings me joy to see the middle class finally freaking out, even if it’s for reasons that are utterly selfish and blind to the real struggles minorities have been facing for decades. Maybe if you buy gold instead?

            Wow. So you actually just hate anyone who has any money at all. You don’t actually care about the issues. You’re just bitter that they have more. Even when they care about your issues, you still hate them because they had the gall to complain when their retirement gets pushed back a decade.

            You should look at your actual views. Pulling everyone to that level is the goal. Not bringing everything down.

            The middle class are not your oppressors, and never have been.

              technically not, but they were the ones who could have done something about it the best.

              they came for the communists, then for the third world, then for trans people, then for the immigrants. and now they are coming for you.

            lets not forget their treatment of global south countries and its people.

            trump is just turning the oppression we suffered for a century at this point inwards.

            id rather see usians liberating themselves (and us, by extension), but fascism was the obvious outcome of such shortsightedness.

      My guy I agree with you that trans lives matter more than money, but this is not how to convince people to join our side. Like absolutely this countries priorities are absolutely fucked, but opening with “fuck your money” is only gonna get assholes to dig in their heels

        I won’t police my thoughts, opinions and language to appease liberals and centrists and I won’t trust anyone who thinks that our struggle rests on that kind of approach. Unless they gutterally get it they are not my ally.

          Ok but how many people in the whole US agree with you enough that you’d call them an ally? 2% .2%? Your plan is to enact change with 99.8% of everyone on the other side of you? The movement requires liberals and centrists to change their minds.

      Even if you don’t own stocks, your paycheck is now worth 15-30% less due to tariffs.

      None of my trans friends have been lost.

        I mean, good. The country voted in a fascist on a policy of trans genocide and it takes a tanking economy for any kind of mass protests to take place. The government was killing my friends long before Trump was elected but that didn’t effect your safe little bubble. If the violence has to be explicit, then so be it.
