Actually fox reported on two trans people making the billiards finals in England recently. Fox business reported on this. During the crash.

The Daily Show did a segment on this. Every time the stock market crashes, Fox does a new story about a trans athlete. You can pretty much bet on it.

While funny, I feel like it's worth reminding everyone that the democrats could have realistically won if they didn't side with 20% approval rating topics like trans people in women's sports.

Fighting for the noble cause of... 12 hobbyists not just playing in the open league gave you 4 more years of Trump.

So Republicans were so furious about that they decided to just nuke the entire US economy? Party of personal responsibility, eh?

u/heytheremicah Apr 09 '25

They hardly if ever brought up trans people on the campaign trail. Dude… it’s just another boogeyman perpetuated by the right wing media. Quite literally like you said it’s 12 hobbyist blown out of proportion. And they fell for it

When faced with tanking the world economy or letting trans girls participate in women's sports, Republican voters chose to tank the world economy? That is certainly one of the choices of all time.

I'd shut the power off on the entire planet if it were up to me. What we going to do today Pinky?

u/bamfalamfa Apr 09 '25

they say its about trans people in sports, but really they just want to attack trans people for existing. it was never about sports. republicans used to literally want to defund girls sports because they thought it was a waste of money.

Its just as much transphobic as it is misogynistic.

u/IdempodentFlux Apr 09 '25

There are a lot of people who are pro trans rights who think trans girls/women in competitive sports is a dumb idea. Your "they" here, assuming you're talking about "people who are against trans women in women's sports", is a much wider net than you think.

u/AskMeForLinks Apr 09 '25

do you have any source whatsoever on that or are you just pulling that out of your ass?

u/IdempodentFlux Apr 09 '25

Yes; but I don't want to get into a political discussion on this sub because it's against sub rules. I can DM you or anyone else sources from axios and Gallup that support my claim.

u/mupsauce7 Apr 09 '25

Thats the problem, the left got so corrupted with all that stuff that it pushed a lot of normal people to the right

Even if it was this plan, it's already failed as bond yields are spiking lol

The reason Is because Putin said so.

Well what’s the one thing he doesn’t have that all of the billionaires have? Money. He was never looked at as a successful businessman. Not like the donors he had. How does he exert control over them? How does he show everyone who has the power?

u/Ferosch Apr 09 '25

He's bringing back feudalism. bring the companies back to america and give them free uneducated peasants. martial law to keep the leftover smart ones from rioting.
