How would that even work? It’s not like we all meet up at a specific location wearing red and blue jerseys and start shooting on the count of 10.
 
Most civil wars are like what this would be. I think the Spanish Civil War is a good example.

i believe the US Civil War where there were distinct geographical areas fighting each other with the vast majority of those living in those geographical regions supporting the same side, is far less common.

But if you are asking the right what they envision for the civil war, I think none of us will like the answer.

They have every lever of power at the federal level yet they are calling for a war. That can only mean one thing - the widespread removal of civil rights from half the country - which would likely result in widespread murder.

How else can you interpret the calls of civil war from those who already have power?

I do believe that this is still a fringe position. Miller is advocating for removal of a lot of civil rights but he hasn’t yet advocated for war. Nor has Trump.

Agree 100%.

Even the Spanish civil war ended up with some pretty firm geographical lines. Initially it was the Republicans in the middle and southeast of the country while the nationalist rebels took power in the west. There were significant pockets of Republicans, especially in the cities of the nationalists, but eventually, those fell.

So if it does follow the Spanish model, you probably see more liberal zones in the Northeast and West Coast and more conservative zones in the rest of the country. Even places like Houston, Dallas, Chicago, and Atlanta would likely be controlled by conservatives pretty quickly.

And my guess is it would be pretty terrible. Best case scenario is something like the civil war in the United states. Civilians were mostly left alone, and the fronts got established pretty quickly. Even Sherman's March to the Sea was mild compared to what happened in Spain and other revolutionary countries.
