Lol, this is a pretty silly scenario. It's not like even the county breakdowns would matter. Yes, the Republicans are more spread out, but the Democrats are more concentrated. Even in majority Republican counties, there are plenty of Democrats living there, so there really would be no "lines" in this conflict. A Republican/Democrat conflict would instead tend to break like this, one party has official political control of America. Members of the other party believe that they have "gone too far," but cannot change things through democratic means, so they rebel. The majority of the military would not split directly on partisan lines, but rather on the righteousness of the rebel cause. If the rebellion was generally viewed as illegitimate, then few would join it, even if they shared the party of those leading the rebellion. If the rebellion were considered legitimate, then few people would rise in defense of the establishment, even if the establishment was their own party. I think in most likely scenarios, a Republican-led civil war would be doomed to overall failure.
