A small yet notable segment of the U.S. population believes that a new civil war is necessary to “set things right” This belief was more commonly found among certain groups, including “ Make America Great Again ” ( MAGA ) Republicans , individuals who hold racist views, and supporters of extreme right-wing political organizations and movements.

A large majority of those who believed a civil war was likely thought it would take the form of an insurgency or guerrilla warfare.

The findings highlight the importance of addressing the root causes of political extremism and violence.

But it is possible that the study’s findings understate the true level of support for civil war in the United States .
