Again, this isn't the American Civil War which took place in 1861 to 1865. This hypothetical war is something else.
They don't seem to understand that the left is nowhere near united in their beliefs
the right on the other hand is more than willing to band together.

Tell us how it would work then?
The states call in the National Guard to keep order.
If the situation becomes worse, the federal government nationalizes the National Guard and uses the military to keep order and enforce martial law.
And liberals and conservatives can't be defined on simple geographic lines.
Sure a lot of conservatives live in the south, but not everyone in the south is a conservative.

Yes, this could happen, but this assumes that the soldiers and the government will play it neutral in this. In all likelihood, they're bound to pick sides themselves.

I reckon it would end with a conservative victory. Not only they are most of the US population (the National Election Pool claims they are 35% of the population, as opposed to the liberal 26%), they also hold most of the firepower, with most soldiers, gun owners, weapon industry employees and militia members being conservative. As a result, the conservatives would likely gerrymander the voting districts to give themselves a high chance of ruling.
i'm having a hard time finding the results of the liberal vs conservative numbers.
Anyway, it would be a race to "Who can get to the nuclear weapons first".
For example, the ones in Colorado and (maybe) Vandenberg Air Force Base. Both liberal states.
They get them first, they nuke most of the US before the conservatives get to them.
Or, the conservatives get to them in states like Montana and nuke them first.
There could also be a moderate faction that could be the other 39% of the population and could beat both of them.

That's like saying a Nazi has the same goals as a moderate. It doesn't work that way.

Groups like Moaists and Islamists will fight the same enemies as liberals, but that won't stop them from fighting liberals themselves.
Christian evangelicals won't have problems fighting with traditional conservatives and libertarians.

Because Conservative Islamists will fight on the Liberal side of this hypothetical civil war.
Your argument doesn't work if it revolves around tossing half the people on one side to the other and saying, "see! The other side could never work together!"

I think christian evangelicals wouldn't fight traditional conservatives because conservatives tend to be christian and for christian ideals.

The only reason muslims get along with extreme liberals and communists today is because they all have one thing in common: hating the current system of government in the united states.
they have these common goals. They operate on a purley enemy of my enemy is my freind type of doctrine. You really think Islamists are going to share power with Liberals?
