Let them fight
Legislative scuffles breaking out on the floors of parliaments are a tradition as old as democracy itself, dating back at least to the Ides of March. Sometimes a good dust-up is necessary to restore the norms and decorum of the democratic process. From Egypt to Canada, to Japan, Kenya and Great Britain, physical altercations between government representatives have become a regular occurrence. The United States Congress, though, has astonishingly been mostly free of violence between colleagues on both sides of the aisle. Consider that we even made it through the Trump years without a single physical confrontation in the White House or the halls of Congress.
