“…On the one hand, these studies show that a lower individual ideological distance to the government leads to increased political support also outside of the context of winning and losing an election (Ferland, 2021; Henderson, 2008; Mayne & Hakhverdian, 2017; Noordzij et al, 2021; Stecker & Tausendpfund, 2016). On the other hand, some studies argue that the individual ideological congruence with the government moderates the impact of winning or losing: if the government is closer to your own ideological position, the impact of winning or losing the election is less pronounced (Campbell, 2015; Curini et al, 2012; Curini & Jou, 2016; Gärtner et al, 2020; Hobolt et al, 2021; van Egmond et al, 2020).…”
