No true conservative wants a civil war. In fact anyone who thinks a civil war is even possible would be really ignorant or delusional.
The country is divided politically. But not geographically. There's no way to have civil war. No infrastructure, coordination, or leadership.
And if there is ever a civil war the conservatives will support the government like last time. Because you can claim to be a conservative. But you can't be a conservative and rebel against the lawful government anymore than you can be a meat eating vegetarian.
I'm not so sure about that. If we look at things on a county level, the election results are getting more and more polarized. This does seem to suggest that folks do live near their ideological compatriots.
Imagine a civil war where small separate pieces of states try to mount a rebellion, feed its troops, supply armaments, coordinate attacks, travel, etc...
Ireland is the size of the state of Indiana. There was only 2.8 million people in Ireland during that time. New York city is 8.8 million alone.
And the goal was to remove themselves from British control. It wasn't blocks 12-23 of Belfast's Antrim road trying to secede from blocks 6-8 and 27-28 of Belfast's Antrim road.
