but what would they fight for? against who? both parties are pro-israel, pro-business, anti-migration and reactionary. the only difference is one of them admits being all those things openly

Seems most likely if there was something, it would be the Trumpian types trying to start some kind of "race war", or a "war against the elites" (the democrat elites instead of the republican elites) and their main opposition would be "the constitution is sacred" democrats. Fascist infighting, but with them trying to drag minorities into the crossfire to further their white supremacist goals and probably try to drag "leftists" into it to further their red scare cold war 2 goals.

The best you will have from these types is that they help support a coup from an internal government faction, then this faction uses the army to crush ensuing protests, leading to mass civil unrest. The trumpian types themselves will do little to no fighting, and the few fools who try will be very quickly killed off.
