Stockhole syndrome is a psychological phenomenon where lower or middle class citizens develop positive feelings and emotional bonds toward their upper class managers and abusers, often even defending them and their extravagant bonuses and tax breaks. The term is a mash of ‘stock’ and ´a-hole’ since most people with wealth use stocks to borrow money tax free and avoid paying their fair in taxes like the rest of us. The term originated from a 2026 conversation on imgur when it was suggested that if people that had less than 1b in wealth then disagreed with a one time wealth tax in california, they might be siding with tax-cheats, stock a-holes, and the 1%.
Jimmy the plumber thought his neighbor who owned half of the local town needed additional tax breaks from the government so that he could upgrade his 3rd yacht to be 300’ long; textbook case of stockhole syndrome.
I don’t have stockhole syndrome; I only make 50k a year but i’m worried that my taxes will be unfair if i start earning 10m a year.
Won’t someone please think of the billionaires!

“Elise Stefanik burned down her House career chasing Trump’s approval, only to get snubbed for UN Ambassador, shoved out of Congress, and quietly iced out of the New York governor’s race. Trump Cowardice Syndrome (TCS) is torching your future for a pat on the head that never comes.”
“Marjorie Taylor Greene spent years humiliating herself in blind loyalty, defending everything no matter how indefensible. The moment she pushed back on Trump over Jeffrey Epstein, he turned on her and threatened her son. Trump Cowardice Syndrome is discovering loyalty only flows one way, and dissent gets punished immediately.”
“Lauren Boebert stayed loyal, loud, and obedient. Trump still vetoed legislation just to punish her over support for releasing the Epstein files -- cancelling a critical water project in her district. Trump Cowardice Syndrome means learning that devotion does not protect you or the people you represent.”
“Mike Pence gave Trump absolute loyalty for four years. When Trump demanded he break the Constitution, Pence refused. Trump publicly trashed him and left him to face a mob chanting for his execution. Trump Cowardice Syndrome is believing obedience guarantees safety.”
