You cannot make a civil war movie and it not be political the British guy who thought California and Texas would ever be allies needs to get fired. IF HE HAD ANY BRAVERY HE WOULD HAVE MADE THE PRESIDENT TRUMP!

    Civil War is an upcoming dystopian action film, written and directed by Alex Garland.

The film follows a team of journalists who travel across the United States during the rapidly escalating Second American Civil War, which has engulfed the entire nation.

    In the near future, a team of journalists travel across the United States during the rapidly escalating Second American Civil War that has engulfed the entire nation, between the American government and the separatist "Western Forces" led by Texas and California. The film documents the journalists struggling to survive during a time when the government has become a dystopian dictatorship and partisan extremist militias regularly commit war crimes.

    Texas and California together?! jesse-wtf

      Oh, great. for the first time I bet it'll be horseshoe theory shown nationwide visually and graphically. There's no way there are liberal extremist militias.

      My big problem with these post-apocalypse civil war scenarios is they still try and shoehorn in ideology when that’s likely to play very little part in that scenario especially. For example, these maps always split Utah and Nevada because “Mormons” and “Sin City”… but those two states are tied together in a lot of material ways (economy, interstate migration, etc) and would be much more likely to work together, since the Rockies really are almost like a small ocean.

      So in theory, could CA and TX align? Yeah, maybe? But I don’t see any sort of material base for that assumption.

        Nevada, Arizona, and Utah are also red desert states that rely on the Colorado river. They’d likely unite to fight California and New Mexico in order to invade Colorado to secure their treats and lawns.

        Or Utah/Nevada would have an internal conflict and one of the two ideological forces would prevail over the other and coerce the other to adopt its customs while continuing to utilize the material, economic connection.

        I'm fighting for Sin City.

        This entire premise is false because plenty of Mormons are hypocrites like most right wing Christians in amerikkka

        Also, there are a lot of Mormons in Nevada. They're about 6% of the population!
