“Civil war is when citizens oppose fellow citizens. When citizens oppose the government, we call that revolution.”

Yes, but in a revolution citizens also oppose other citizens (i.e., supporters of the government).

Civil wars are most often fought by various factions over control of the government, and the government is just one of those factions. Sometimes a few of the factions will temporarily ally themselves for a specific purpose or operation, but they do not really “support” each other.

Revolutions are usually pretty well defined and focused. Civil wars are most often chaotic cluster f***s.

By that definition, I know which one we are headed towards.
