pac-man principle
You swing so hard to one side, you crash into the other side like a drunk kid on a trampoline, and now there's a tyrant wearing your face.
I was screaming for freedom, now I'm stuck in a cage with a guy who thinks he's a lion.
My mom went full socialist, now she's the queen of a country that taxes your dreams.
I picked the guy who said 'I am the night,' now I have to sleep in a closet.
