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.
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?
The terminology has existed long before this article and is much more widespread.
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
Something about Liz Cheney and a big tent
