    Hang on. Schumer is a fucking coward, no argument from me there. But who’s the leopard here, whose face is getting eaten, and what is the actual face being eaten?

      Republican voters vote for the leopards to eat not just theirs, but everyones’ faces. Well, everyone who’s who’s not rich, anyway. Democrats in power enable the leopards to eat more faces, even though their voters did not vote for it.

        People continue to be blown away that the party that tefuses to stop the fascist party continue to not stop fascists. I’m sure that Shumer handing Trump everything he wanted is all Hexbear’s fault too

        That… has nothing to do with the linked article. What specific policy is being talked about in the article, and who is supporting that policy only to get hurt by the policy itself applying to them?

            Per the sidebar for this community, “leopards ate my face” is a metaphor specifically for the 2-part case of:

            1. someone supporting an oppressive person or policy (“I support the Leopards Eating Faces Party”)
            2. only to get oppressed by the very person or policy they supported (“I didn’t expect them to eat my face”)

            So, once again, what specifically is this article saying that Schumer supported, and how is he now being oppressed by it? Because younger Democrats giving him shit for enabling fascism isn’t actually oppression.
