The American right controls all three branches of the federal government and a staggering majority of state governments, yet they are the ones always talking Civil War. Civil wars are usually fight for freedom, independence or power. Why would the group that holds all the power want a civil war? Do they literally just want to kill their political opponents?

No, they want to talk about it and intimidate folks. The reality of civil war would horrify most of them. But they sure do want to cheer on the idea. They need to stop watching movies, and start realizing that civil war is a horror show applied to your friends and family.

Because war is fun, as long as someone else is doing the actual fighting.
When those scumbags try and start their little shindig, you’ll know it when they say they are “protecting” the Constitution. Guarantee you’ll hear that.

It's probably about 5% of the hard core white/male/gun worshipping/rural/exburban/hard right nut cases who routinely talk about this stuff on this and other forums. They do things like post pictures of children holding guns with captions "come and try to take my guns", pathetic loser things like that. You know who they are on city-data. it gives the impression they are far more prevalent then they are, because they are so vocal and obsessed with their guns and racial animosity and reactionary mindset.

That's exactly what they think they want to do, but it's just a fantasy. The reality is that very few of them really have the balls. It's just the same old conservative chest-thumping.

I don't know a single person on the right calling for civil war. I haven't even read anyone saying that anonymously online. Undoubtedly there are a handful of extremist kooks who probably do talk about this idea, but the implication you threw out here, that the right is routinely calling for civil war is a complete red herring.
I can just as easily point to violent, far leftists who want California to secede, or pledge allegiance to Mexico instead of the United States, or Blacks who demand segregated Black homelands, call for race wars, or anarchists who attack peaceful attendees at political rallies, smash people in the heads with bike locks for speech they do not agree with or try to wipe out the entire GOP congress at a softball game in the name of left wing politics.
Those violent, left-wing extremists don't represent the majority of Democrats anymore than right-wing, militia members represent Republicans. Don't let me spoil your hate orgy though, you boys carry on.

What mainstream source are you seeing this being said on?

Find me a thread where right wingers discuss a civil war. CA and TX talk about succession but there is almost zilch about a civil war.
Here you go, making chit up again.
