I would argue that support is support. The most common failure of the revolutionary is to demand some ridiculous action threshold which does nothing but whittle down the base and isolate vulnerable individuals.
There are plenty of people in this world who have no support besides those who are not prepared to take radical action, or who simply do not know how to do anything besides symbolic activism. Don’t remove their support. If you want to help them push their comfort zone then offer real constructive input instead of this cynical slop.

I support trans people!
-except when they are attacked in bathrooms
-except when they are being arrested
-except when I’m not attracted to them
-except when they are homeless
-except when they are poor
-except when it comes to passing policy
-except when they are children
-except when they aren’t profitable
That’s liberal love, and if you don’t like it you’re a bigot! >:c
