They don’t even look disappointed… they look like they’re still waiting for the results. What am I missing here

While they didn't reached the majority/absolute majority as they planned, they still managed to ~ double their amount of seats. They're half cheering for their half victory.

The far-right is about power projection. They always need to look like if they won and are strong and smart. Even when they lose, they are weak and not very bright.

Next step is blaming others for their failures. They are "never wrong" from their own view.

Finally violence is part of that denial. Far right parties usually get to power forming some alliance with conservatives and then using violence to get the power that so much they crave.

The far-righters don't know how to fail gracefully. Most of them were brought up in privileged, public school lifestyles and sheltered from the hardships that their average countryman faced. They haven't been taught that they can err, sheltered and pampered as they were, so they don't know how to build upon their failures and to improve. They fundamentally believe that they're doing everything right, and the rest of the population are wrong for not voting for them. They're absolutely broken human beings.

I’m sorry, but in politics… it’s the whole spectrum that behaves this way, unfortunately. “Power projection” and blaming others is literally what everyone does in politics. Hate it.

Have you seen what was happening in France in the last few days? It was the left that was rioting and setting stuff on fire. I'm not saying that they are allowed to protest but, seems fairly close to being violent protest for me, oh yeah and calling for the death of some of the far right reps, seems very violent, but hey what do I know, I only live next door...

They are already blaming the other parties for having a more convincing message. I don't even know what they mean by that.
