and the other side galvanizes for a response.....sounds like a civil war to me.

Besides destroying infrastructure, the RWers would target people for assassinations. The nature of any such civil war would be terrorist guerrilla tactics from the right. Would make it hard to fight them. In the end, they would lose. I am sure that our security and Intel agencies are aware of the dangers and are monitoring the situation and preparing for the possibility.
