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.

Look at how different all of these answers are with no unanimous agreement on any one thing such a civil war would be fought over. That should show you that people don't even know what they would be fighting for and that it's just not going to happen. Like this is the first time tensions between both sides have been at an extreme anyway. That's the American political climate for you - it rises and it drops. The only civil war that's going to happen is the one that's been happening forever now: the right and the left being locked in a perpetual state of senseless, unproductive bickering.
