The left side is more tech savvy, if I'm going to civil war, I'm doing so w/ drone strikes :P
Edit: I don't think civil war will happen, I don't think the younger generations have been raised to be too docile by their media/etc. Civil war would possibly shut down cellphone access and access to fb/social media/etc... Not to mention you'd need to war against people you already know and may love, regardless of their opinions.
Times are a lot different than they were in 1860's, I think if there were a civil war it wouldn't be between left/right.. it'd be between establishment and poor/middleclass -- but the 2 party system has us polarized, so we'd need to come together for that to happen. So far they've won the 'divide and conquer' war already.
