White supremacists and other like-minded extremists conducted two-thirds of the terrorist plots and attacks in the United States in 2020, according to new CSIS data. Anarchists, anti-fascists, and other like-minded extremists orchestrated 20 percent of the plots and attacks, though the number of incidents grew from previous years as these extremists targeted law enforcement, military, and government facilities and personnel.

You’re just a little misdirected
From the article which you quote (https://www.csis.org/analysis/war-co...nited-states):

Terms such as far-right and far-left terrorism do not correspond to mainstream political parties in the United States, such as the Republican and Democratic parties.

Terrorism is orchestrated by a small set of violent extremists.

Far left individuals and networks have increasingly used firearms in addition to explosives and incendiary devices in conducting attacks.

49% of the weapons used by violent far right terrorists were either firearms, or explosives, or incendiaries.

84% of the weapons used by violent far left terrorists were either firearms, or explosives, or incendiaries.

Only five fatalities occured from violent terrorism in the first 8 months of 2020 (time for which the article covers). One death from far right and one death from far left. Three were by "other."

The number of fatalities from domestic terrorism today is quite low and the possibility of civil war is negligible. The U.S. has endured more violent periods in the past.
