When you have a lot of the left bending over backwards to argue in favour of a racist just because what she said was about the white race, all they're doing is further ingraining these people into their beliefs. Now they have more reason to believe that the left doesn't care about them.
The mental gymnastics that people have done to try and argue in favour of her is astonishing. Accounts have been made of her tweets except that "white" has been replaced with other people and races and have quickly been banned for racism and bigotry - as one would hope.
I'm sure Psychonet will come in and act like the old scared white people shouldn't matter, but at the end of the day they make up a huge portion of the vote. So when the left wants to keep isolating them, just don't cry when they continue to vote against the left.
(And I know, as a person who's more on the left, that I've generalized unfairly)

The left corners itself on many issues.
The minority is more important than the majority (identity politics, dreamers)
The poor are more important than the rich (taxes, minimum wage)
The educated are more important than the uneducated (free college, globalism)
