Is this the usual pattern of Democratic voting?

Lifelong Democrat party voter, I ve noticed over the course of my years that on every cycle, Democrats are traditionally very lazy and disinterested about voting when there is a Democratic president in office....we become very proactive and energized when it comes to trying to vote Republicans out of office in general. Sad observation because this is what has played out with Obama as well as with Clinton when it comes to voting during the midterms. I think it has to do with our more laid back overall personality in comparison to more conservative, type A personalities that dominate Republican voters, thats to say Republicans seem to have an inherent push to always show up to vote regardless of who is in office. Democrats need to become angry to show up and that usually means a Republican controlled Presidency or full Congress. So I guess a Republican controlled Congress is yet another affirmation of the Democrat malaise...
