Why Republicans Are on the Verge of Fistfights
www.politico.com
A historian who studies political violence and the runup to the Civil War explains why congressmen are getting ready to brawl.

This is not opinion or leftist. It’s news about fighting in the party, which is factual, recent, and on-topic.

Removal of this post is admitting that this sub is only about being a safe space for conservatives to circle-jerk while ignoring reality.

I encourage a discussion about the recent conflicts inside the party, how that might impact the party moving forward, and what can be done to prevent this divide.

    Totally agree. I think it’s healthy to say “I don’t like this person on my team” or “I refuse to vote for someone because they are a criminal, a convicted rapist, etc.

    Leftists do it all the time. I think it should be more acceptable for righties to criticize their own. After all, I think we can both agree that Greene and Boebert aren’t doing anything but making the GOP look foolish as a whole.

      The only people I know who talk about those two are people on the left.

      I agree they make normal conservatives look wacky.

      Haley at least is trying to get things done that benefit working people. I can’t say Boebert or Greene have done anything to help anyone.
