I guess we'll see what Hollywood thinks of the MAGAs ability to pull it off. I think I'll just load my gun safe up and head to the mountains and see how long I can stay out of it. 
Looks like Hollywood's been reading HROT - CIVIL WAR 2024 Trailer

The "real Americans" portrayed in the trailer are 60-100 pounds underweight based on the footage I've seen of the self-styled militia gravy seals.
I have to imagine that if the US was about to march into a civil war they would quickly make a unifying enemy to war with instead.
Some non-nuclear country we could
Imagine how much freedom we could bring to said country. We are such good guys.
It's a strategy of laziness. Ottumwa already looks like it's been through a burnt out apocalypse. It should be an easy hold.
Would not be surprised if Trump wins and invades Mexico…ala Puty…
Some observers are pointing to the fact the trailer does not specifically address the politics of why the conflict is taking place.
“Whatever disagreement is at the heart of the conflict, which the first trailer carefully avoids pinning down, puts California and Texas in the same boat, which sounds unthinkable at the present moment,” one reviewer wrote in an article for the online news site Polygon.

WTF?
The real question is can Hollywood pull this off without alienating half the country and thus impact ticket sales? Will they take the Jordan approach or will they do what they normally do?
The thing that's totally off with states seceding from the Union in the modern day is even in "R or D" states there's a very sizeable opposing party population.
It's not like 1860 when peoples allegiance was more to their state and not to the U.S. Most people in 1860 didn't travel more than 20 miles from their home. For folks in Georgia, New York was a far off alien land that 99% of the people didn't visit. That just isn't the case now...
Let's say California seceded from the Union....they'd be spending their time putting down rebellions in their own state. At the very least you'd have fertile ground for extremely strong partisan opposition.
I just don't see it as a feasible scenario to have a repeat of 1860.
Any Civil War in the future wouldn't have the cut and dried line the civil war mostly did....every state would be like the border states in the Civil War....opposing factions like there were in Kentucky or Missouri.

I actually thought it might be an entertaining/interesting movie….as I usually like disaster/war action movies….and then they said California and Texas were united and I couldn’t stop laughing.
Then Ron Swanson started to recite the pledge of allegiance and I realized this is a comedy.
I think HROT should rent a tour bus and go on a field trip to see this.
It looks like they are very clearly going out of their way to not portray red or blue as the good guy and the other one aa the bad guy so the movie appeals to everyone. I’m guessing that’s why the Texas/California alliance getting wiped out is a plot point because then both sides view themselves as the good guy.
R’s are talking about using the US military against the cartels. Puty went in to get the Nazis and well, your boy holds puty to such high regards…
