I think you’re overestimating the amount of effort that it takes to find someone’s email or Twitter account and send them a message. And I pretty much guarantee that the kind of person that sends them has already been spewing that kind of hatred verbally, at a drop of a hat, for quite some time. It’s not a creative process, it’s just anger given a voice.
Already existing anger issues and lack of consequences for spreading vitriol online. Couple that with marketing that pushes products, entertainment etc. as a life style and some people fall very deep into the hole.

I meant more like what it would take to become one of those people. I imagine after the first one it becomes much easier to send another.

IDK, I would probably only be willing to put about 10s of effort into harassing anyone before I stop myself to decide if it’s worth the effort.
Then again, I don’t have anger issues and am pretty chill in general.
