All a civil war will do is put a bigger boot on all our necks.
Nobody rational wants to see that happen.
Unless you enjoy the thought of American military might amped up to 11 and deployed on it's own citizens.
This already happened in Portland 2 years ago
The US military putting racist authoritarian southern states into order seems like a fairly okay alternative to people constantly being supressed, denies their democratic rights and often being outright murdered without any consequences for the perpetuators.
As you mention the might of the US military that could also mean the issues to be resolved within a short time and without much bloodshed, as the local cop gang probably is made up of pussy posers that only attack the weak.
As a bonus, many of those lunatics who have weapons "to protect themselves from the government" would finally see how laughable is the thought of a redneck with a gun overpowering trained soldiers in their prime.
From the other side of the world, it would be fun to see that happen.
Your racist uncultured citizens citizens duly deserve that and the collateral damage would be overlooked.
