There are three threads on this subforum alone talking about a hypothetical 2nd civil war. There have been dozens of books written about a 2nd civil war. Nearly every weapons forum I've ever lurked on regularly has threads about a 2nd civil war. Nearly every right wing forum (especially /pol/) I've lurked on regularly has threads about a 2nd civil war. Some conservatives threatened civil war if Trump got impeached. Why do conservatives obsess over civil war so much?

Because like the commies their ideas suck dick and they know everyone hates them and their particular flavour of autism, so with that in mind they realise that at this stage in the game the most plausible way of their ideas/visions for the future gaining any real mainstream traction is at the end of a gun point.

Not exactly conservative here, but it’s more that I know the police will take anywhere from 3 to 5 minutes and for the most part people will run away if you yell a lot. But for that one instance that it’s time to throw down, meme glock time baby if it comes down to it.

This may be bait, but I'll take it at least a bit seriously. While there have always been tards fantasizing about a second civil war since the first, I think that some on the conservative - constitutionalist - libertarian rainbow have taken both the 2A and historical events to their logical conclusion and realized the government is probably illegitimate, is taxing them up the nose, and has no problem painting fake targets on their backs to take them away and finish enslaving the population to live in squalor (see LA). They're right to meme that "the founding fathers would have been slotting bodies right now", so if you like the founding fathers, your only option to avoid cognitive dissonance is to get on the boogaloo train.

The US south was a stratified society with a large pool of manpower that had a shared national identity to rally around.

The current south lacks that and no other part of the country has anything resembling that.

Conservatives are obsessed with a second civil war for the same reason that edgy teens want a zombie apocalypse. They don't do well in the modern world of bureaucracy and markets but believe they they'd thrive in a war-environment due to their guts and desire for glory.

Even civil wars need money to keep things going, as well as some form of governance to rule the civilians unfortunate enough to end up under their rule. Unless they can match the capabilities of a group like the LTTE (the most successful belligerent group in a 21st Century civil war), a so-called 'Second Civil War' would easily be put down by the Government of the day, Democrat, Conservative, or third-party.

Besides, everyone knows that a 'Second Civil War' is just a ruse for a Red Invasion to "protect Chinese assets".

As much as I would love to see the Marxists and other extreme leftists get their shit kicked in like the maggots they are, it would unwise to kickstart a civil war without proper backing. Any conservative unironically wanting a civil war is an idiot. Unlike in 1861, America has many more enemies that wouldn't mind taking advantage of the chaos to dismantle the country internally and internationally.
