Or you know - find everyone congressperson who is not doing their job, figure out if they are breaking state, federal law, or even party law. Get special elections going and get a working congress.

This paralysis amongst Americans is very un American.

You have a decent poltical set up. Use it. You don’t need a magic wand like a civil war.

You need to do the boring dull work of reading, analyzing and then making executable plans and getting to it.

I’m not that old, and I remember people learning how to make satellites as undergrads in the states. For elective classes. And actually having the damn things go up into space.

It’s your life and your country.

edit: I was wrong in suggesting finding ways to get to special elections. There are very few ways for a congressperson to be removed.

For other ideas - just ask them to resign. Seriously - I doubt many republicans wanted to be part of THIS congress, and have already stated they are afraid of retribution.

Ask them to resign, and have people who can take the heat take their seats.

Either way, congress needs to work, and for this people need to find their spines, or make way for someone who has a spine.

Civil war is NOT a solution, its a failure state, and a failure of imagination and effort on the part of what I remember America to be about.

There are no recall elections for Congressional seats.

That's not actually legal in many (most?) states. Recall is not a universal feature.

What you're advocating for is civil war. In many states, the only way to get Congresspeople to leave would be "voluntarily" (i.e. "We threaten to burn down every piece of property you have if you don't give up your seat"). Which, actually, has worked deep in America's past; the post-Revolutionary era had a lot more "We don't like the governor, so we're going to take his house apart and throw it into the river" stories.

You're not wrong exactly, but I think you've underestimated how fundamentally anti-democratic American democracy is. It was a 1.0-template and had baked pretty deeply into it fear of mob rule (hence the President not being chosen by direct vote, for example).
