Pull Yourself Up by Your Bootstraps

For all you MAGA cultists who keep saying the market slump doesn’t matter bc 20 and 30 yr olds have plenty of time to make up losses, seriously, what is your answer for people retiring NOW who thought they were good until your guy fucked it up? What is your answer? Tough shit? pull yourself up by your bootstraps

A social-media screenshot shows a political post criticizing MAGA supporters over retirement losses, followed by the dismissive reply “pull yourself up by your bootstraps.” Below it, an animated cartoon shows several people stacking their hands together. The joke is sarcastic: it mocks the idea that people facing serious financial hardship can simply overcome it through individual effort.
