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.

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.
