The short answer is it's because this has become a cult of personality at this point, and noone wants to admit they've been conned.
The long answer is that, as you allude to, this kind of male power dynamic is actually something a lot of men aspire to, and those people do tend to almost all be right-leaning. It was definitely a big deal during the campaign and it seemed to even push his numbers down, but no matter what scandal hit him, his numbers would revert back after about two weeks as the right-wing media machine did its thing and just grinded away relentlessly against whatever scandal he was involved in at that week.
Notice how key events like the conventions and the debates caused Hillary's numbers to go way up, then they reverted back to the middle over time each time. Then the Comey letter hit about a week before the election, and it was close enough that that was all she wrote.
