How is this leopards eating faces? That means nothing anymore. The original tweet was about voting for bad things to happen to people, but they ended up being among the people the bad things happen to. A more apt comparison would be "I don't want to vote for the opposition party to the Leopards Eating Faces Party, because their positions on leopards eating faces is indistinguishable from the Leopards Eating Faces Party", and then the Leopards Eating Faces Party winning anyways.

I think it's been generalised to 'facing the unexpected-to-me-but-obvious-to-everyone-else consequences of my actions sooner than anticipated'

But those consequences weren't unexpected to anyone? Pretty much anyone knew that if Harris were to lose, Trump was going to win, unless some major third party support just came completely out of nowhere. This is more "These people refused to bend the knee and accept my (maybe) marginally less bad option".

Funniest part imo is that trump's team seems to have pressured the Israelis to do a ceasefire. If that were true and trump had any involvement with bringing peace to gaza this would be the exact opposite of a leopards eating faces moment.
