The calls for civil war were striking, and in many ways it really does seem like American right-wingers believe the war has begun. And maybe it has.

If/when civil war happens here — or maybe it’s already happening! — it won’t look like the types of war we have seen. It won’t be two sides fighting continuously in a delineated geographic area. It won’t even have a clear start or end. It’ll be a type of warfare that most Americans haven’t ever experienced — making it hard to recognize.
