Republican Sarah Palin has become the subject of mockery and ridicule online

after the former vice president candidate lost her bid to retain Alaska's sole seat

in the House of Representatives to Mary Peltola.

Palin, the former governor of Alaska, lost an election to Peltola for the second time

in just over three months after the Democrat won the special election

Peltola, who will now begin a full term as the first Alaska Native woman to serve in Congress,

increased her vote share over Palin in the midterm election,

beating the Donald Trump-endorsed Palin by 55 percent to 45 percent.

but also further proved an expected "red wave" in the midterm elections failed to come into fruition,
