That's just it: 2012 was the high point, from which the decline is measured. Focus turned to Hillary Clinton, and began the long train of abuse that led to her losing in 2016.

Much of that abuse was explicitly misogynist. Misogyny had been deprecated for a long time, but had a resurgence starting right around 2012.

This argument is US-centric and in no way explains the trends seen in the rest of the anglosphere shown in the article..

Why would a teen in Australia care about US law?

Maybe I'm missing something.

The US culture war is a significant cultural export, especially to the rest of the Anglosphere.
