Winning elections does not mean they get to do whatever they want. There are laws, rules, and norms. When the Dems won, the Republicans did everything in their power to stop them from implementing their platform (some of that setting up the violation of norms, rules, and laws we see today).

As long as the elected have constitutionally specified majorities, they should be allowed to change rules. And it is the other side's duty to stop the winners from implementing a partisan agenda. Either way. Without these struggles, democracy is pointless. It's just some kind of theocracy with extra steps.
