This is a nothing-burger blown out to a crazed proportion
It's like tribalism and it's nothing new. I remember when my dad was a committeeman for the local Republican committee and I was in the Young Republicans. The infighting within the party, as well as within the Dem party was worse than across party lines. Being new to this racket I thought Civil War II was gonna break out.

Excellent post—saw the same thing with Young Americans for Freedom many decades ago...

There were some older and more experienced folks there who worked very hard to hold the “big tent” together.

We made it work without compromising any of our views—learned to agree to disagree in a civil way.

Name calling and demands for purity were absolutely off the table.
