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.

    Fistfights and warfare aren’t on the same path like at all. War is not an extension of what men are doing when they physically fight each other.

    If anything, war is the result of men developing deep differences without having a chance to meet each other face to face and just get it over with.

    For any man who’s ever been in a civilized fight (ie one which both men consent to and which ends when one man disables the other), it’s obvious that the feeling afterward is the opposite of war.
