Yeah, LAMF is the phenomenon of 'I voted for X to be done, but because I assumed it'd be done to others, not me'.
As in 'I voted for the Leopards Eating Faces party, but I didn't expect them to eat MY face!'
A politician not doing what they promised to do is not LAMF.
But, for example, voting for someone because they said they'll cut funding from wasteful government programs, and then complaining when funding is cut from a wasteful program that you were utilizing, is textbook LAMF.
Now that I think of it, in the DKC games, I don't recall anyone or anything being 'killed', enemies would just get knocked off the 2D plane you're on. They don't explode or vanish etc. like in SMB3 or ALttP.
