It all began with a simple tweet. Seen now as a commentary on people who voted for President Donald Trump or Brexit only to find there are drawbacks that impact them directly, I can’t say for sure if this is what the original message was.

With this was thus born the oft repeated “I never thought leopards would eat MY face” phrase that now so many of us use to point out how voting against others can so often turn around and bite the voter on the ass. On Leopards-Eating-Faces.com, I’ll be documenting cases where people find themselves suffering for exactly what they wanted for others. As suggested above, these posts will likely focus on Americans who voted for Pres. Trump, but may also slide over into other arenas where someone manages to get their come-uppance.
