my instinct is to say this is a result of the revanchist undercurrent that formed the 'Populist Right' around the election of Obama/2008 deleting the economy and its consequences, materializing in the Tea Party, GamerGate, and then Trump. Everything has to be a result of some Original Sin of The Left. No matter what, there is a point where you were "normal" but you "had to become like this" because "the left went too far."
Pseudopsychology time
I think unchecked ressentiment really hollows you out. You become a soldier in a holy war and everything you do is framed around it. The continued existence/happiness of that which slighted you is a constant weight on your back. Dragging others "down to you" is the only thing that gives you even a facsimile of happiness (in schadenfreude).
Knowing the twitter poster personally, you're spot on. With an extra dash of reaction formation to cover up his own sexually predatory behavior in a largely radlib community he was in in his mid twenties.
