A lot of people on the internet have constructed identities and ideologies around temperaments and modes of interactions. Maliciousness and meanness and tolerance for it is virtuous to many 4chan types because it demonstrates strength and resilience, traits they value highly. I heard an interview with a /r/The_Donald moderator who said that the specific idea that words matter less than actions was a key attraction of Trump's message and an unifying idea for his movement. The moderator also said there was no need to or value in attempting to unify the country after the election and that it didn't matter.
