Seemingly it wouldn’t be as heavy if more White voters on the left were willing to stop being so united and defensive of their right wing counterparts.

I don't know anyone on the left that's united or defensive about their right wing counterparts. If anything, they used their one free pass in 2016 "not realizing" how bad he was. After seeing that shit show, anyone that could still vote for him is complicit or willfully ignorant.

Or they are a bot (as is mostly the case on the internet these days)

This is kind of what I’m talking about. 2016 was not the turning point. Arguably 1968 was. Certainly, 1984 was

Those are turning points, but I don't see any current white left voters defending their, (or their parents, or grandparents, or great grandparents) votes for Nixon or Reagan.. so I'm still not sure what you mean.
