Well, you are "kind of" good with words.
Me no English major, but learned cromulent werds by turning on closed captioning when watching The Simpsons.

You're verbally humorous, however.

What? Me worry?
I think it would be absurd if it would happen, but such pondering can be fun, and I gotta say Republicans would win if the absurd scenario comes about.
Democrats have an advantage of holding the major industrial areas of the country. But the Republicans control the most land overall, pretty much the entirety of rural areas. Plus, I think everyone would agree the rural Republicans have the best chance of creating armed militia groups, because they have more firearms and the like.
So you've got one side controlling just the industrial centers, and another group in the countryside with organized militia groups and in control of the national food supply. It seems almost one-sided to me.
Though I must say I myself am screwed. My house is a short distance from both a Democrat-aligned urban center and Republican-aligned rural countryside. My home is the borderlands of this silly scenario.
Maybe you can stay neutral and become a de facto Switzerland.
What? You would eschew being a war profiteer? Where's your capitalist spirit?
If I could figure how, I'd gladly profit from war.
But the draft....I'm dodging that.
I'll defend me own properties though.

America is so divided it's like a cold war.
If there were a military conflict between Republicans and Democrats, who do you think would win the war?
I'm a pacifist because I know too many good people who are both Democrats and Republicans, and both sides makes sense on a lot of issues, so I just can't take sides.
I've always wondered though if there was a Civil War in America between the left and the right who would win.
If I was to guess, I would say the right-wingers would win, because they are more fanatic, disciplined, better armed, and more geared for that type of combat... That doesn't make them better people of course, just I would say on average better equipped for combat and war.
Pardon the silly question, but it is something I've always wondered and curious what the feedback would be like.
A lot of it would depend on how it comes about, although I doubt a civil war in America today would remain confined to America.
The right may have stockpiled weapons, but the left would have fertile recruiting grounds in other countries. Plus, the left would more likely receive outside support, since most of the rest of the world would be extremely wary of a right-wing government in charge of America.

I'm pretty sure Russia would support the conservatives... But you're right, if there was a Civil War in America it would probably turn into a world war , no doubt

I fully realize the fractious division in America that has evolved in reaiity through the whole history of the USA. It actually evolved from what appeared to be just diverse factions in the founding of our country with different political and economic interests. The Civil War is a bloody event in this process, which did not resolve the division, but result in the hardening of the division and a future where extreme factions would make bargains with the devil for selfish agendas.
The odd alliance of Evangelical Christians (Tea Party - mainly South and Midwest) with Right wing extremists of all strips with billionaire corporate powers has created a nightmare of a ******* monster.
Even though I have Republicans I respect and like, and grew up in a Republican family in national politics I cannot in all moral and ethical reasoning justify nor make peace with this political monster.

I have 2 feelings on this. Optimistic and Pragmatic.
Opitimist: I doubt there will be. Just because I want to remain optimistic, in the hope of solving issues with diplomacy amongst ourselves.
Pragmatic: I hope there will not be. As a civil war only ends with both sides losing in the long run. While the Conservatives definitely have an upper hand initially. I don't see any victory in civilians killing each other. But if push come to shove and if my hand is forced to make the decision of kill or be killed, I won't lose any sleep at night in making that decision.
Ah, a libertarian paradise where there is only one law: "Congress shall make no laws" and taxes are purely voluntary. I can't wait to be a parasite.
I'm not sure if the Russians would want to touch it, although it would depend on which flavor of "conservative" it is. Despite all the hullabaloo over Trump's "Russian connection," a lot of people on the right still have a deep fear and mistrust of Russia.
The real scary part is that if the actual government and military chain of command breaks down, the regional commanders may go rogue and become "warlords" of some sort - and may fight each other or try to head up one or the other faction. And of course, all sides would have nukes.
I do have a job opening...
