If the US were to fall to civil war, what would we be fighting over?

I see a lot of older folks saying one is coming, but I don't see any differences worth killing each other over. Tribalism between Democrats and Republicans is getting rather extreme, but I don't imagine them seeking to kill each other en masse over it.

Though we seem to be working ourselves into a Mexican Standoff (no racism implied), if everyone refuses to holster their weapons and go have a beer instead, the result will be a crumbling of government and social systems, social and economic chaos, and an economic crash. If and how the pieces get picked up afterwards, if they do, will be the next chapter of American history.

If sanctuary cities and states believe they have the moral authority to obstruct immigration laws and not cooperate with border and immigration agents, why can't others apply the same moral indignation and refuse to pay taxes and cooperate with the IRS?

I was in Saigon at the time of the cease fire and was privileged to see the underbelly of the South Vietnamese government. From my viewpoint, South Vietnam fell because of its own corrupt government and internal distrust, and not the Communist. The Communist were there to pick up the pieces.
