Rules:

The mods are fallible; if you've been banned or had a post/comment removed, please appeal.
Off-topic posts will be removed. If you don't know what "Leopards ate my Face" is, try reading this post.
If the reason your post meets Rule 1 isn't in the source, you must add a source in the post body (not the comments) to explain this. If the reason is in the source but is tedious to find (e.g. in a lengthy video), you must add an explanation for where it is.
Posts should use high-quality sources (for a rough idea, check out this list), and posts should retain the title (if one exists) from works like news articles, videos, etc. You may (but need not) edit your post if the source changes the title. (If you're only using an excerpt from an article that's otherwise not about LAMF, you can use the quote in the title.) Other types of posts should have a title which accurately, relatively neutrally describes their contents.
For accessibility reasons, an image of text must either have alt text or a transcription in the post body.
Reposts within 1 year or the Top 100 of all time are subject to removal. Within moderator discretion, this doesn't just include reposts of the exact same media but also includes e.g. a secondary source telling basically the exact same story as another that was already posted.
This is not exclusively a US politics community. You're encouraged to post stories about anyone from any place in the world at any point in history as long as you meet the other rules.

I'm not saying he deserves that, ofk he doesn't. But I'm not really good with multitasking. And I'm already too busy feeling like shit for all the poor people who didn't even had the chance to vote and was separated from their family, or lost it all, just because dumbass people like him belived that "they" were the problem. So, good luck.

What a strange thing it is to imply that you can only feel bad for a finite number of people.

Wilson is a dumbshit and he will not learn from his mistake. Zero sympathy.

Not LAMF unless there is evidence he supported tariffs, which there isn't.

LAMF is not merely 'the person you voted for won and then did a thing that negatively affected you'.

Edit: Downvotes don't change that fact, you know, lol. Y'all just want this to be 'anti-Trump community #5726' so bad. Why even create themed communities if you'll ignore the theme?

i don't think he has to specifically say 'i wanted leopards to eat peoples faces.' i reckon its sufficient that he said 'i voted for the guy who publicly wanted leopards to eat peoples faces, and even now that my face has been eaten, i'd do it again.'

if this wasn't something that trump regularly harped on about prior to getting elected, if the tariffs and their consequences were a surprise, you might have a point.

[–] damnedfurry@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

i don’t think he has to specifically say ‘i wanted leopards to eat peoples faces.’

But he does. That's the whole premise: that the 'eating faces' is a thing you explicitly supported. Hence the 'I didn't think they would eat MY face' 'punchline'.

The whole point of LAMF is to point out the foolishness of assuming that a particular action will be taken selectively, that was never actually 'promised' to be done selectively (notice that it's not the "Leopards Eating [group's] Faces", just "Faces"). If the thing they supported is not the same thing that's biting them in the ass, then there's no connection. Some examples:

Supporting candidate promise to "gut/cut government programs to save money", then complaining when a government program you rely on is affected? Yes, this is LAMF.
Supporting candidate promise to "gut/cut a specific government program X to save money", then complaining when a different government program you rely on is affected? No, this is not LAMF.

I think some of the confusion also is that LAMF is about support/advocacy of the policy/campaign promise/etc., not about the individual espousing it—it's the 'eating faces' itself that is the focus. This is why it doesn't fit LAMF when the 'supported thing' and the 'negative consequence' are unrelated, despite coming from the same administration.

If a situation like the OP counts as LAMF, then literally ANY negative impact coming from ANY administration a person voted for, would count as LAMF, and that just renders the whole concept meaningless. Do you think anyone who complained about Obama's drone strikes during his administration, who voted for him, should be considered 'fair game' for LAMF? I sure don't.

look, alls i'm saying is that if you vote for the 'face eating leopards' guy, it's kinda on you if you get your face eaten by leopards, even if your vote was really motivated by his simultaneous campaign promise to catch a greased hog on live tv.

You think Democrats are any different? Lmao.

They're the same team my guy, billionaires.

[–] AdolfSchmitler@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago (2 children)

True but democrats pretend there's nothing they can do they don't actively make our lives worse.

[–] NauticalNoodle@lemmy.ml 2 points 7 months ago

Clinton gutted welfare and his administration also oversaw the repeal of the Glass-Steagull act. Obama and Biden built the cages that house many of the immigrants currently. Biden was the self-declared tough-on-crime senator that gave harsh sentences for drug violations while also being one of the architects of the current student debt situation. Democrats pretend, but all too often that's all they do.

[–] Randomgal@lemmy.ca 1 points 7 months ago

Pretending they can do nothing while they watch you get fucked is actively making your life worse.
