Basically, conservatives have always handled setbacks better than liberals because conservatives by nature have always believed in themselves as determining their lives. King Barack is the most philosophically leftist president ever, but the nature of conservatives is to resist tyranny and keep on with trucking.
Liberals, by contrast, believe in Big Government as the ultimate determinant of their life's fortune. They turn to BG at every setback not believing that their fate lies within themselves. They thought they were on the way to the Big Liberal-Socialist Utopia and now a monkey wrench has been thrown in the works. The fact that the monkey throwing the wrench, Trump, is not exactly an arch-conservative fails to dent their skulls.
