    No, you didn’t.

    He says he voted for illegal immigrants to be deported, and now he’s being negatively affected by legal immigration being hindered.

    LAMF is all about voting in support of X, but assuming (without evidence) that X will only happen to others. This would only be LAMF if his wife was an illegal immigrant.

    This is not LAMF.

      “I’m going to only eat some faces.” Said the leopard.

      “You got my vote, surely my face is safe.”

      This absolutely LAMF.

        “I’m going to only eat some faces.” Said the leopard.

        That is literally not the premise of the original meme. The whole point is that ‘only some faces’ is assumed by the voter, while that ‘selectiveness’ is never explicitly stated by the party/candidate. It’s not the “Leopards Eating Only Some Faces” party, for a reason. You’re just trying to make your square peg fit in a clearly-round hole.

        Trump never campaigned on/promised prohibiting legal immigration. Again, LAMF is about the politician/party doing exactly what you wanted them to do (in this case, ‘deport illegals’), but assuming, without evidence, that it would only happen to others and not you. This would only be LAMF if his wife was an illegal immigrant.

          It is lamf. He absolutely said many times he would “reform” immigration and deport “undesirables”. Sure, he said “illegals” most of the time, but to anyone with a fucking brain, we knew he meant the Family Guy meme.

          He tried to block immigration from entire countries years ago… Again, anyone with two braincells to rub together knew exactly what his lies meant.

            The OP made it clear what specifically he voted in support of: the deportation of illegal immigrants. Deporting illegal immigrants is the ‘eating faces’ here.

            And here, what he is complaining about is not that illegal immigrants are being deported.

            So, not LAMF. This is very simple.

            Again, anyone with two braincells to rub together knew exactly what his lies meant.

            Calling them “his lies” is an unwitting admission that it’s not LAMF, lol! The whole point of LAMF is that the Leopards Eating Faces Party did NOT lie, they did exactly what they promised to do!

            You just don’t get it, that’s crystal clear.

              So yet again, you haven’t been paying attention, and you have one or zero braincells.

              Even if he literally meant he would only deport people who entered illegally (and he doesn’t), all he’d have to do is change the laws… which he is also doing.

              So you’re wrong twice over on the same topic, and obstinate to hold such brainless opinions. For your own sake, I hope you’re getting paid to be so stupid.

            So if someone voted to throw away red apples, and is now complaining that he can’t buy a green apple, you’d actually retort to that guy ‘well, you voted to throw away apples, red apples are apples’?

            Do you really not understand how ridiculous that response is?

            I voted to put criminals in jail, now my law-abiding spouse is being put in jail!

              Here’s a puzzler.

              Did he start with illegals as the first stage in a general campaign to eliminate the poor and undersirable by force, or, now that he has moved to all immigrants, is he going to stop?

          You are either a right winger trying to justify the current events by using the terms “immigrants” and “illegal immigrants” by their exact dictionary meaning instead of for the racist dog whistle content they are used in by the current American administration and their voters, or you are on purpose ignorant of the concept of this community. Both of which don’t really necessitate a proper discussion since it just looks like you’re arguing in bad faith.

            this doesn’t take a seer, it’s basic pattern recognition

            But LAMF has nothing to do with predicting slippery slopes. It has everything to do with the specific thing being promised, not with things that happen later.

            and the literal roots of LAMF has been, among other things, republican voters voting against their best interests because of republican politician lies

            Literally false. The root of LAMF is voting for a party that promises to “eat faces”, under the unjustified assumption that only your enemies’ faces would be eaten, and then suffering because the party did exactly what they promised to do, and because said assumption was wrong, and never ‘part of the deal’ at all.

            what an odd thing to gatekeep lol

            Okay, so you don’t know what that word means, either. “Gatekeeping” is when you arbitrarily limit something, beyond its actual, defined limitations. It’d be gatekeeping to prevent women from entering a chess tournament, but it’s not gatekeeping to prevent men from joining a women’s chess tournament, because that tournament was conceived (pardon the pun) from the start as being women only.

            LAMF is clearly defined, you’re just trying to dilute it into meaninglessness by pretending ‘anything bad that happens to someone after the person they voted for wins’ counts as LAMF. It doesn’t.

      Trump and the GOP have repeatedly decried and called to limit ALL immigration from third world countries. This guy 100% knew and wanted that to happen. He just thought it would only affect NEW immigrants, not his wife.

      The admin has been arresting and deporting legal immigrants and citizens since they came into power. If this guy had given half a shit about that happening, he would’ve already been banned from r/Trump.

      – That guy, probably

      They can never explain to me how they actually steal the election when these people can’t vote and nobody has ever proven they do or have. Never mind the fact that these people pay into these programs without being able to actually receive them statutorily most everywhere. Or that Trump is actively gutting them.

      I might go so far as to say Trump was also probably a trafficker. I think that’s the reason he’s still scrambling to scrub everything from the Epstein files, because he knows he’s dead meat on the world stage otherwise. I’m willing to chalk up the whole “restarting child separation” thing in 2016 up to racism, but then for ICE/CBP to just brazenly state “we have no idea where they went” reeks of “we just have this black van and some of the kids go in there, and some of the kids go to foster homes.”

      Dude is absolutely following the law. Money makes the illegal into the legal. What do you think the law is?

    I’m done with clicking on titles that say nothing. Sometimes the jokes are good but with so many of them now, I can’t waste time guessing.

      It’s a mistake to say this is because of lack of intelligence rather than targeted malice.

      I 100% believe that a big reason they’re so adamant about the masks is because they pulled from a bunch of those white supremacist militias to pad out their numbers. Illegal to them is absolutely just “not white enough” or “not speaking enough English” for them.

        And also because they know they will be held accountable for their crimes. Document anything and everything you see in person.

          Yeah, all we personally have is some contemporaneous notes for the time an ICE vehicle stalked my partner as she left a blood draw appointment. She tried to lose them for a few blocks then took them through a Walgreens drive thru to pick up meds hoping they were waiting to try anything until she was more isolated. Luckily the one we were at has a high traffic street it lets out onto so she lost them coming out of the drive thru. But like, she is Lily White Midwestern and we live in Western NY. Not a chance they “thought she was illegal” they were 1,000% on some nefarious shit.

          Unfortunately we found out from that incident our dash cam was malfunctioning, so no video evidence of them stalking her on our end. I’m sure several of the pharmacists remember her little “Fuck ICE” song though lmao. We have since replaced our dash cam and invested in some cameras for our house so we can see if they come around trying to harass any of our refugee (or with the way this bigoted regime has been heading any of our Puerto Rican) neighbors.

        nah they’d deport white immigrants (me), ethnic native Americans, melanated American-born citizens and even white Christian Americans born in California or New York who vote democrat in a heartbeat.

          They absolutely would if they could. But again, this woman at the time was basically in Chudwife camo. She’s Lily White, Midwestern, and at the time was dressed like a Suburban Karen. Hairstyle included because we didn’t have the time to keep up the undercut she usually keeps that makes her look more like a Butch Lesbian than a Suburban Karen.

          So unless you looked at her and were brain broken by transvestigation like sometimes happens when she goes into public restrooms there’s no way you’d look at her and think “She votes Democrat” even where we live. Plus if they were gonna try that song and dance they would have pulled her over any time while she was trying to evade them. Or even just grabbing her immediately outside of the blood draw clinic they were waiting outside of and followed her as she left.

          Which leads me to believe that they were looking for a secluded area to pull her over and threaten to arrest her unless they get something out of it.

      No, they thought plenty.

      Their hate for whichever marginalized groups they felt deserved to be hurt outweighed their thoughts of self preservation.

      Its the common thread that links all maga members together.

      They think someone needs to be punished, and hearing that a candidate will is all they need to know. They don’t care if on the long list of people to punish exists them or someone they know.
