I am curious if you have your own version of the red and blue generational constellations.

Civics I think are tougher to get a handle on, mostly because they parrot memes from Idealists, thinking they are their own ideas, without actually having independent ideas of their own.  You can argue that the Charlottesville marchers and the BLM and Antifa rioters - not the protesters, the rioters - are examples, but these aren't their own causes; they're the causes of the Idealists who brainwash them.  To the extent that Civics have an interest of their own, it's to get back a share of the increasing productivity that has since 1970 been going entirely to employers and investors.  Some would prefer to work and get back some of the increasing share that has been going to welfare recipients over that time; others would prefer to become welfare recipients as long as they can get a share of the increasing productivity; many are neutral as to which happens, but they want what they perceive to be their share.  None of this is conscious, but it drives the Idealist ideas they are willing to embrace, and their rejection of the ideas they don't support.

Isn't this what is meant by the "constellation"? You put it in derisory terms - the Idealists brainwash the Civics - but it could also be described as giving them their vision (via the memes...) which they then act upon as a united front. It's just that there are two fronts and there is conflict in the streets.
