Re: Civil war coming?
Simple answer: No.
More interesting answer: It wouldn't be a "war"; it would be a "Rumble of Unusual Size". The "leftist" fascist tribe(s) would commit suicide, due to ineffectual-ness and in-fighting.
How do you create this civil war: Elect an actual fascist (Hillary, Obama, Sanders -ish), instead of a neutral populist capitalist.
What would be the effect of this civil war: A "tired" West that would sue for peace with the "opponent", and be slowly then quickly nibbled to death by the Global Chinese behemoth.
Aloha!

There's nothing civil about a Civil War:

Re: Civil war coming?
Generally, when we think of civil war, we think red states fighting against blue states. However, the fault line that's grown isn't quite that simple. It's much more of an Urban-rural divide, with the suburbs the most divided.
If we had a civil war, it'd look a lot more like the fighting in Syria, Yemen, Yugoslavia, etc. than the Union-Confederacy conflict. It's unlikely we'd have two sides fighting each other; we'd see several different factions, including possible succession efforts by states like California. Having half a dozen different groups, sometimes cooperating, sometimes fighting. . . it'd be far less straightforward than our historical Civil War.

Nah,.. we'd all have muskets and those de rigueur three-pointed Hector Heathcote hats.
But, yeah, it would be a "War of a Thousand Thousand Factions",.. where the average militia size would be about 30ish.
