Conservative trolling in the US certainly seems resentful, petty, and snowflakish, not to mention self-destructive. But I suspect that that form of lashing out is the masculine kind. When women or feminine characters resent something, they take revenge in more devious ways. As stand-up comedians often say, women will repress the anger and bring it up years later or sublimate it and express it in a different context, baffling the victim or onlooker. Conservative trolling seems more primitive and straightforward, which could itself be a sign of at least hypermasculine pretensions.
