Nah, and I say this as an ansoc who would love for the US to break up, but there's just no appetite for that at any scale large enough to actually cause this.
Even at the time of the Civil War, it was only when state governments decided to secede that things kicked off, and no states now- no matter how "blue" they are- are going to try that. It would be up to individuals, and there's just no organizational capability for that at the scale needed to force a civil war. The closest we might ever get is a bunch of individual attacks or small-scale violent mobs.
