It is my anecdotal observation that some, if not most, liberals (democrats) are very much like children who want what they want when they want it and will throw a tantrum if they are denied gratification. The riots, marches, and destruction of property we're seeing after the 2016 election upset I think tend to support my point of view.
Some if not most conservatives (republicans) are more like adult parents. They are capable of deferred gratification, tolerant of that which they cannot change, and capable of being disciplined in their actions and speech. The election of Obama was cause for a great deal of upset to conservatives. Even so, we didn't see them rioting, marching, and destroying property. Yes, they dug in their heels but they did so within the system of laws and rules governing how this country is run.
