People keep saying this and I personally don’t really believe it, I think there could be a couple riots, but not like a full on civil war. What does everyone think?

How do you define the destinction? I assume you’re only counting ‘in’ as officially recognized by the republican party, the political entity?
There’s no way those guys vote Democrat, so it’s fair to say they’re “in” the Republican party, but they’re not a paramilitary “of” the Republican party, because none of the organisation and centralisation which makes the Republican party a force crosses over. They’re totally separate, and very unofficial - if a pastor or a local politician supports a militia group, they’re going to be doing that quietly on their own time. As a result, they all have a kind of “startup” thing going, and don’t really have logistics the way a viable insurgency would.
Sorry, I should have expanded a bit more there. Brevity vs. clarity is always a tough balance.
