I hate people speaking on things they know nothing about as a whole. That includes using words they don't know the meaning of. It isn't a metaphor, despite that excuse being thrown around since doubling down is apparently less humiliating than admitting fault. It's a misused buzzword that became overused because terminally online "rightists" thought it sounded cool and edgy. If I'm going to have to be part of the Right, I expect them to do, and be, better.
A cuckold is a married man who knows his wife is unfaithful, but does not oppose it or object to it.
If someone's going to use it metaphorically it should be specific to this sort of moral failing--letting someone run roughshod over you because you have no balls to resist what you know is wrong, then rationalizing excuses for it.
