I seriously doubt there will be a new civil war. Left, right or in-between, the nation's laws and military would intervene before any group gathered enough support to fight.
That fact is, when either the left or right shows its ass, the in-between react by rejecting them at elections.
You could seperate ideologies by a third, but there will always be an element in any large population that seeks its way to the bottom. I'm reminded here of the scholarly worls of Matt Groening. On the Simpsons, Jebediah Springfiles and Shelbyville Manhattan were united in finding anew land for their belief of freedom, but then seperated when Shelbyville declared that the law should allow for sexing cousins.
