FYI, Andrew, we've ALREADY had a "soft" civil war in the form of regional factionalism becoming a reality in most parts of the USA. Take California (please!). The so-called Golden State (although now the glitter has worn off) has basically devolved into a one-party socialist dictatorship, along with its left coast brethren, Oregon and Washington. California sees itself as its own nation-state, and acts accordingly. Meanwhile, in the mountain/west states such as Idaho, Montana, Wyoming (and to a lesser extent, the Dakotas), the populace by and large has rejected the so-called progressivism that Washington, DC is now trying to force upon the country, and has embraced the rugged individualism/populism that characterized America 120 years ago. The federal government has little place or impact in their daily lives, and that's just the way they want it. The USA will probably drift apart and separate into a loose confederacy in a manner not dissimilar to the old USSR back in 1991. The federal government will become weaker and weaker, unable to impose its will by force on regions other than the liberal east coast corridor that extends from DC to Boston. So it seems, anyway.
