I like this one.

I worked over nearly a decade off and on with Autistic kids. I understand the fine tuned focus, the 'tone' deaf overly loud voice or exuberance when others are hurt or crying or in pain, or when trying to read a room you not getting the humor quite right, the misunderstanding of social cues, the fidget reflexes and the need to have an outlet like video games.
I believe this is what happened here to a large extent. I don't mean to be patronizing, I've just seen that thousands of times. You honestly didn't read the room and came across as tone deaf to people who are in pain, pissed off, and still extremely agitated about migration.
Your empathy of humans who believe in their homeland, and wish their own people, the ones who's ancestors built all this infrastructure and wealth, to have access to their own land and keep their country intact, was lacking and you failed to understand that these are visceral and primal forces. You misread that room. I get it.
So let me be clearer and spell it out very concretely. You can ignore this at your peril if you wish. But the truth will not be pretty and will not be stopped. You were shocked when those who supported you turned on you suddenly and aggressively because you don't yet understand what drives this movement:
Ethnic Europeans built this country from mudhuts to the wealthiest nation on earth. We don't intend to let other tribes come and take it and spit on us for the privilege. We're pissed, and we are a hairs edge from going to actual war over it, just like we have always done for millennia when threatened. Don't fuck with us.
