Most of these people hate themselves anyway and are just looking for an excuse to project their hatred onto others to feel better about their self-loathing by dragging others down.
Personally I feel it boils down to the fact that society lacks any real adversity of challenge thanks to the technological wizardry that people are privileged to take advantage of. Never has life been so convenient and easy. Nobody has to farm for their food, or build anything from scratch. Nor do they have to worry about their next meal being stolen by a predator after they worked all day to get it. Obviously I'm not referring to those of us who do practice this lifestyle even in today's world of modern convenience.
The point is that with a lack of true adversity, humans tend to manufacture crisis to give themselves purpose and stimulate their meager existence. And thanks to this phenomenon, it's also easy for an outside agitator to step in and rile up the public in such a manner. Just my .02 on what I think is really going on here.
Very insightful and always useful to be reminded of the skills and values we've lost along the road to modern living. Overlay The Long Marx sorry March onto that desensitisation process and hey presto.

To be a liberal you must hate yourself.
I was one, you're right.
....and blame everyone else...............for everything
