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.

They'd definitely have issues on the social side of the coin, wouldn't they? Evangelicals wouldn't like the whole "yeah do whatever" approach that Libertarians take.

They have issues yes, but they are far more able to get long than those other extreme groups that are on the left.

Industry is no longer concentrated in cities as I explained in an earlier post. It is extremely decentralized. You can't just flip a giant plant to making bombs. Those days are far far gone.

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?

That doesn't put them on the same side though! You're tossing right-wingers on the side of the left-wing and then stating that the left-wing can't get along! Your argument has no base to it because you're grasping at straws to make it work!

Tell me more about how Islamists will spill blood with Liberals...

Shit
I read that wrong, I thought you said they wouldn't have problems fighting traditional conservatives and libertarians.

I think christian evangelicals hate libertarians. Christian evangelicals like religion telling everyone what to do and all that shit; libertarians are for liberty and freedoms. Example: look at weed legalization and abortion, (the majority of) christian evangelicals are against it and libertarians are for it.

They won't because they're not left-leaning! They're on the right. They'll fight on the Conservative side, but they'll also fight the Conservatives. It's really that simple.

The Right has a better history of coming together to fight the common enemy. Thats a post-war issue. See: Spain for the prime example.

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.

They'd destroy each other and the socialists would pick up the pieces...

Whether somebody describes themselves as 'liberal' or 'conservative' is not always relevant to whether they actually are, particularly in the US, were those terms in their modern political usage are divorced from anything resembling their actual meaning...

In many ways I'm a conservative... but I'm nothing like the statist reactionaries who call themselves such in the US.

Again, this isn't the American Civil War which took place in 1861 to 1865. This hypothetical war is something else.

Tell us how it would work then?

Its almost as if we have new technology that we used to ruin industry in other countries during a certain global conflict some 70 fucking years ago.....

REALLY ACTIVATES THE ALMONDS, DONT IT?

Yes because the Islamists, Liberals, Mexican Nationalists, Maoists are totally going to swing arm and arm together in a fight.

Islam is a pretty conservative religion. Individual Muslims vary, naturally, but I would expect most to be lining up with their conservative brethren, the alt-right Trump fans who want the whole lot of them deported. Ditto the mostly Catholic Hispanic community. Maoism might be economically left wing, but it's hardly liberal. Maoists will be forming battalions with the hippity-hoppity an-caps, no doubt.

Eh, libertarians are indeed for liberty and freedoms but a lot of them (that I know) draw the line at abortion (because of the debate that it infringes on the rights and freedoms of the unborn). But there's no real consensus among libertarians that I see.

It depends on what type of libertarian they are, city folk focus on weed, country folk focus on guns. etc.

Islamist's will border up their own communities and spread if they can, such is their way.

There will be no civil war. Closest approximation would be the years of lead.

The moderates outnumber the far left and right by such a huge margin neither side could ever get the ball rolling.

So in the war between conservatives and liberals, you anticipate Muslims being the "home guard" of conservative communities?

Islamic Conservatives in America are still Conservatives, therefore putting them on the Conservative side of this hypothetical civil war, therefore making the Conservative side less united than you first claimed.

What if a liberal vs conservative civil war broke out in USA
