or stopping the investigation of conservatives, or enforcement of rules against them.

Claiming that he would be the victim of electoral fraud gave Trump, in the eyes of his gullible supporters, the "right" to stop the electoral college process. Claiming that postal balloting victimizes Republicans, or whites, gives Republicans an excuse for restrictive laws on voting, that actually do disadvantage Democrats and non-whites. Claiming that the IRS was biased against conservative groups got the investigations into tax cheating, which was mostly by conservatives, stopped. Claiming that Twitter and other social media are biased against conservatives gets the banning for spreading dangerous lies, again mostly done by conservatives, stopped.

They don't want to be held to account. So any time that happens, they claim they are being victimized.
