A meme pointing out the schadenfreude irony of people hoist with their own petard by voting for a political candidate or party whose aims are inimicable to the interests of the voters.
"I never thought leopards would eat MY face,' sobs woman who voted for the Leopards Eating People's Faces Party."
—Know Your Meme
In 2015, a Twitter user by the name of cavalorn tweeted out the above, and in the years since, it's been retweeted and referenced many times, to point out the horrors voiced by regretful voters (who never seem to learn as they keep voting for he Leopards Eating People's Faces Party and their associated candidates) as the chickens come home to roost.
Tragically, there are many people who voted for Trump whose families have been split up as immigrant spouses and/or children are suddenly deported, or farmers whose workforce is decimated by same. We're still waiting for the full force of Trump's tariffs to hit, so I'm waiting for the howls of outrage as people's gas prices spike, and the cost of heir imported electronic and other goods goes to the moon. Next thing, the gutting of Federal agencies will result in less funding in times of crisis, which will sadly impact even more of the people who helped elect this insane administration.¹
There does seem to be an inability on the part of gormless voters to understand the consequences of their political actions. Currently, Elon Musk is cutting down the trees in a forest designed to support American people, all in the name of "Government Efficiency" as part of an administration seemingly based, not on economic expediency, but on memes. Social safety nets slashed apart, which is going to impact many who voted for the nonsense. Speaking of which, thanks to weroland for fulfilling a writeup in DOGE. I didn't do it for fear of overdoing bewildered anger and attracting the wrath of freedom-loving alt-right 'Muricans again.
I hate that this is happening. I hate that too many folk believed that Federal Government needed to be disassembled, and that they must suffer as a result. I take no pleasure in the suffering of others and hope that checks and balances will resolve it before too much personal economic trauma is caused.
