Of course not. When people use the term "civil war" most are using it loosely. Of course there won't be organized military units waging conventional war on each other but civil unrest over (perhaps senseless) acts of violence over ideological differences? I think we can expect some of that. If one fears going to the grocery store over fear of an attack because they are driving an electric car, couldn't that feel like we are at war? Hell, one could make the case that we are already there. People were harassed during COVID for wearing masks. Vehicles are set on fire because they bear bumper stickers at odds with the attackers beliefs. We really do have a serious ideological divide in this country right now. It's highly doubtful that it will rise to the point of major armed conflict but it could still get very ugly.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
