It's maybe counterintuitive but I think higher partisanship has led to politicians getting LESS blame for things. Former House speaker Vern Riffe used to grumble about George Voinovich not being scrutinized like his predecessors.

I remember being weary of Springsteen around the time Live 1975–85 came out. (Didn't become a fan until Tunnel of Love.) But I held no grudge about the Beatles, and I freaking loved the Who.

The party didn't expel the moderates. Voters did.
