this doesn’t take a seer, it’s basic pattern recognition
and the literal roots of LAMF has been, among other things, republican voters voting against their best interests because of republican politician lies
what an odd thing to gatekeep lol
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.
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.
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.
It’s not a slippery slope. Before he was elected, Trump said he was going to end TPS for Salvadorans. This woman is Salvadoran. She is no longer eligible for the legal program she was pursuing, and is now considered not legally in the country.
This guy voted for a policy that is now suffering from. That is what this com is for.
