Civil war?
I'll give you a serious answer.
When there are a very large block ( say 20 states) of contiguous states where the majority of the citizens agree on whatever issues there are, then there could be a civil war.
Y'a think you'll ever see that happen?
Wonder if the OP is one of those khaki dudes who show up with homemade shields and motorcycle helmets playing out their Braveheart fantasies.
No doubt. LOL

Aside from taking the above suggestions to get outside, turn off Breitbart and Tucker Carlson, and smoke some bud, you can:
Vote
Help people register to vote
Drive people to the polls if they want to vote in person but can't get there
Talk with your elected officials
Join local advocacy and political groups which share your beliefs (not about civil war, though) and help them spread the word
Become involved in your local government and school board
Volunteer at an animal shelter or a soup kitchen or school

I feel if the White House keeps this up, they will have enough people angered to where a civil war will happen. People will start fighting in the streets across the nation and it will spread. In my life, I've never seen this country in such a way that it's in now. It's scary.
I'm guessing you weren't alive in the 60s.
Regardless, have you noticed that it's the conservative posters on C-D who keep bringing up the prospect of civil war? Y'all are having some weird wet dreams.

Yep.

On one hand, I believe in freedom of speech, and 'live and let live'. On the other hand, I love my country, and feel a duty to protect us against people who state publicly that they support a treasonous act of war against America.
I believe in freedom of speech as well, of course, but that freedom is not freedom from consequences of speech. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Advocate for civil war, get a visit from some nice government folks.

OP is a pasty white faced, fat bank account type who has never served a day of her life
in the military. "Civil War" fantasy of standing in a fancy high rise, watching the peasants
duke it out down below. OP is more like Scarlett O'Hara, whose greatest life tragedy was
when the store ran out of Grey Poupon.
The left/dems are ruining the country a little more each day. I honestly hate to see it. It's hard watching it in real time. They are working at this as fast as they can.
There has to be something we can do than just standing by and watching it happen. Is war the only way to try to put a stop to it? I feel it's either going to be a war or separation of the states.
I wish republican governors could do more.
Them taking free speech away from us and spending money we don't have and giving away all these hand outs and dividing us more and more each day. It's just been 6 months and it will only get worse.
Yes, Facebook, etc are private companies but now we have the CEOs of big tech dictating what information is given to the masses and they are allowed to work with the federal government. They want to brainwash us all. All this crap is real. I just can't wrap my head around how all this is allowed.

Conservatives need to think if they really want civil war over what really amounts to being offended by what is being shown on TV. Yes, they may believe gay people are abominations and trans people are freaks. They may be disappointed that the country has strayed so far from the cultures, norms, faith, and traditions of it's history. But is that really something to start shooting people over?
If you live in the rural South and you throw out the TV and deactivate your Facebook, you are unlikely to have to associate much with the kind of leftist people you believe are destroying the country.
The pastor of the church I grew up in used to always say we'd have a civil war when same-sex marriage was legalized. Things are happening scarily close to how he predicted they would. I agree with you on one thing; it's scary.
It won’t be planned out like the Confederacy, it will start with uprisings by armed citizens just fed up and it will grow until it’s at the US Capital.
Look at how they organized and got out the vote. They have grassroots organizations, volunteers hitting the pavement, headquarters coordinating various activist groups. They fight hard. They fight as if they're likely to lose and their lives depend on it.
By comparison, Republicans are complacent. That's why I worry 2022 will not go as Republicans wished. You have to be willing to accept votes from people who might not agree with you on every issue, and get them to the polls.
I believe Republicans can win more purple counties if they get organized. Currently apolitical people are seeing high inflation, crazy wokism, failed borders. But they never vote at all. I think some form of conservatism is always there in the American psyche. Just lacks activism.
The civil war is already here: Liberals vs. liberals
Just sit back and eat some popcorn.

I didn't report you, but America-haters like you make me think twice.
The country is thriving right now, why do you want to end that?
OP is an MTG type minus the power lifting dumb bells.
Easily ruffled over obscure, frenetic social media posts that do not reflect reality.
Seriously believes that the image of Trump hugging the flag on the pole means "Patriotism".
