Young men got caught up in some weird transitional period between patriarchy and feminism where toxic masculinity is discouraged during their formative years yet rewarded by society at-large, and they ended up very pissed about following the rules but getting worse results than the guys who didn't. That's what fuels the manosphere backlash.

There's a hope among them that Trump's continued wins especially rip the veil off of a society and show that scumbaggery is still law, contrary to the values young men are (falsely in their view) raised to believe.

This is an interesting idea. I can kind of see interpreting the world that way. Certainly at college age "good behavior" was not the way to get ahead socially. But my behavior was more about my values than results. But I remember having some bitter years myself.
