Generally agree with your assessment. The lack of any serious organization on the left or the right precludes an actual civil war from happening at this point. However, I do think that a mass civil unrest scenario is quite possible as it doesn’t require central organization.
I think it’s very plausible that if the democrats win, then the right wing groups will start localized riots and violence. This could easily escalate into a country wide unrest.
The deterioration of economic conditions will play a big role here. The system perpetuates itself because majority of the population finds life bearable. Life is not great, but it’s been generally predictable up to now. US is now entering uncharted territory where the economy is collapsing, and huge numbers of people are going to be left destitute with nothing to lose and little to look forward to.
