This has been my observation as well.
Also, when Republicans win, we need to cater to their supporters' needs and when Democrats win, we must cuddle the emotions of the losing Republican supporters.
This mindset is engraved in our society from the media, the politicians, and the citizenry as a whole. This is why Republicans must appease their supporters while Democratic voters give deference to the viewpoint and actions of the politicians. Disagreement with the actions of the political class is frowned upon by us because "they know best."
