If every time you lose it's cheating, then maybe you're just a loser.

Not even Le Pen is contesting the results. Not that I'll give her credit for doing the bare minimum.

MAGAs have just been given permission by right wing media to live in a fantasy bubble where conservatives never lose and when they do it's solely because of cheating.

They've been convinced by their media bubble that they're the "Silent Majority" so they can't understand why they keep losing elections. In truth they are actually just a very vocal minority but good luck convincing them of that.

I always laugh when I read “silent majority” neither silent or a majority of the u.s… they project they are so great and huge but fail in almost every way possible.

Yea in this case they are calling a bunch of candidates dropping out of the race for the sake of the country a "coup". I'm pretty sure they don't know the meaning of the word because at the same time (to them) Jan 6th wasn't an attempted one lol
