Mmm...
A couple of ideas... (correct my English as needed... but these are a couple of options)

"They are shooting bullets [against each other] due to the(ir) political ideas"

"They are involved in a violent conflict due to the political ideology"

"Andar a tiros" - to have a quarrel with someone. It can be figuratively or literally.
