People posting generalizations like this need to start defining what counts as "idelogical purity" & citing examples that inspired their reaction.
Because there's a distinct gap between leaders or random folks being jerks online & if purity means "no Dems" (foolish) or " no transphobes" (coherent)

Folks demanding political / ideological purity fail to see that this is no longer a movement belonging to the left / liberals. This is an opposition against fascism. By definition it must be big tent. Failure to grasp this: see divided oppositions in Eastern Europe as your failed examples.
PS: I’m probably just explaining something 99.9% of you understand but those few intellectually dishonest are making: Recognizing a big tent opposition doesn’t mean subsuming the causes you care about. This is not anti-fascism at the expense of X, Y, and Z. It’s your cause AND the big tent.

Compare yesterday's millions to this and how we couldn't escape breathless coverage of the Tea Partiers at their peak.
![April 15, 2009 is said to have been the day that had the largest number of tea party demonstrations reportedly in more than 750 cities.[73] Estimates of protesters and locations varied. The Christian Science Monitor reported on the difficulties of calculating a cumulative turnout and said some estimates state that over half a million Americans participated in the protests, noting, "experts say the counting itself often becomes politicized as authorities, organizers, and attendees often come up with dramatically different counts."[74][75] Grover Norquist, president of Americans for Tax Reform, estimated that at least 268,000 attended in over 200 cities.[76] Statistician Nate Silver, manager of FiveThirtyEight.com, has said that a cumulative crowd size estimate from credible sources was of 311,460 attendees in 346 cities, which accounted for all capitols and major cities little noticeable or no reliable media coverage in other protests could have contributed to a lower number of attendees and locations.[77] The largest event, in Atlanta, drew between an estimated 7,000 to 15,000 protesters.[77][78][79] Some of the gatherings drew only dozens.[74]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:kdphmaoqeaouax2kis27556e/bafkreieux2zxjfxl2vnbcgw6jxcqzzdqksj7oai2hsduocsjafcl5t67w4@jpeg)

Did anyone in Chicago see any counter-protesters today?
In the 3rd photo below, according to the alt text, you see the main 2 "Chicago Flips Red" women (wearing black) yelling at protesters taking part in an anti-ICE march.
