schisms might be a better metaphor than civil war.

you are correct that there is, and always has been, "churn" among factions within both parties and any significance given to a particular instance of that churn e.g GOPS taking committee assignments away from a flake or the Nevada state party instance — originate in the mind of the one pointing at the event rather than intrinsic to the event itself. One reason that I find most political headlines to be examples of wishful thinking rather than communicators of significance.
