Spread

The tweet became a common way to refer to regretful voters over the following five years. On January 29th, 2019, blogger Carrie Marshall used the phrase to describe TERFs siding with anti-feminist legislation. The term has also been cited in TV Tropes under the page “Original Position Fallacy.”

On March 25th, 2017, the subreddit /r/LeopardsAteMyFace launched, gaining over 312,000 subscribers over the following three years. There, people post examples of Trump and Brexit supporters expressing regret for their actions. For example, on July 8th, 2020, Redditor i-like-to-be-wooshed posted an example of a Brexit voter upset at facing an immigration queue in an EU country, gaining over 8,600 points (shown below, left). On April 21st, 2020, user boinky-boink posted an example of a Trump voter replying to the President saying he would suspend immigration to the United States by asking if it would affect his Filipino wife trying to immigrate, gaining over 25,000 points (shown below, right).

Text Cartoon The Leave Alliance LeaveHO @LeaveHQ These days I'm heavily sceptical of #Brexit and the mess it will surely be, but we are where we are primarily because we had to fight for it three times. Voting in good faith in a referendum wasn't enough. Remainers own this mess as much as the Tories. 23:56 · 05/07/2020 · Twitter for Android Text Font @realDonald Trump I'm a republican and the parent of a transgender child. I voted for you in 2016.
