Infighting
1)When you and/or someone else Criticize a friend or a Political Party, or a News organization that lean towards your political affiliation, but don't agree on specifics and practicalities that fit your niche of that political affiliation.
In other words, you have the same broad worldview of how things should be but you disagree on the specifics.
2)One might blame another for "shooting in the tent" when he criticizes and chastises members of his own political party while the opponents of said party can gain power on the back of "Infighting".
The metaphor is for a guy that has a guy in a tent and has beef with one person and tries to shoot him while endangering his friends as well.

You could tell that Tara didn't know that Jenny's place was a popular neighborhood shooting gallery. The first thing she saw was Tommy hitting Johnny with some clear, Stevie hitting Raymond with some clear and I was injecting Shannon with some clear. If Tara had stayed around a bit longer she might could have snuck a few peeps of me injecting Shannon with some of my premium grade seen. But alas it looked as though she had seen enough already to make her skin crawl.

Get the Oh shoot mug.A shootbud is a term originating in Winterset, Iowa as a more slang version of ‘hick’ or ‘redneck.’ Shootbuds usually sport mullets and plaid shirts with dirty bootcut jeans and take pride in their trucks and farming lifestyle. The term shootbud comes from a gang of country folk from the early 21st century. After the group was dissolved, the name stuck with the teens of Winterset, Iowa.
I’m surprised he loves the city so much! Both of his brothers are total shootbuds and used to brag about their trucks and showing their cattle in the fair!
