are we in a civil war right now

No, the United States is not currently in a civil war as of 2025. While there are heightened political divisions and some incidents of political violence, experts and historians suggest that these do not amount to an actual civil war. The situation involves strong political polarization and regional divisions, but it has not escalated to large-scale organized armed conflict between factions within the country. The broader international context in 2025 includes several ongoing conflicts worldwide, but a full-scale civil war in the U.S. is not among them at this time.
