“I felt like, being in conservative politics, there would be more, like, masculine men in the conservative movement,” Housley says, “and I find that a lot of them aren’t as masculine as I would have hoped.”

    It’s also not even in the same galaxy as ‘Leopards Ate My Face’.

    There are countless places to post generic ‘let’s mock MAGA being on the receiving end of anything negative’, themed communities don’t need to get polluted with it too.

      It’s also not even in the same galaxy as ‘Leopards Ate My Face’.

      I was initially going to write something about that. It’s not your bog standard cliché LAMF, that’s for sure. It’s more complex. And that’s a plus in my book.

      Whichever way you cut it though, it’s definitely in the same galaxy (or neighborhood, to take it down a few notches).

        It’s not. At all. This is the sequence of events of a LAMF:

        1. Advocacy for a politician/political entity to do X, by person/group Y
        2. Y’s advocacy is based on the expectation that X will be done to/only affect others, incorrectly assumed, because the politician/entity never specified such (it’s not called the ‘leopards eating [demographic’s] faces party’, after all)
        3. X indeed affects Y as well
        4. Y is surprised that 3 is true, though they shouldn’t be, as they’re the ones who made the assumption in 2, without any good reason to (this unjustified reaction is the LAMF moment)

        For example, if Y voted to cut funding for public services, then got upset that a public service they use on got its funding cut, that’s a textbook LAMF.

        “MAGA singles are having trouble finding romantic partners” meets literally none of the above criteria. There isn’t even an X (re #1)!
