Go See "Civil War." The leftist film reviewers have it wrong. It could go down just like this.

TX and CA are like oil and water...

Politically, yes. But, without giving away the movie, there is a valid reason they declared themselves independent nations and decided to join forces against the DC government. Since they declared themselves independent nations, they could realistically just go their separate ways after the war. But, in the movie, they joined forces long enough to fight a common enemy.

Features “crusading journalists from the NYT”.

Actually, according to what the characters claimed in the movies, they weren't.

“The president isn’t who all the leftist reviewers claim it is. (Hint: it isn’t Trump.)”

Who do you think it is?

Without giving it away, he's very "deep state" and left-leaning.

Here is the important question to me: Was it entertaining?

I’d rather they make a movie adaptation of John Ross’s Unintended Consequences.
THAT would blow every commie gasket nationwide.

It’s a stand in for Trump..

I think you missed the big clues.

Haven’t seen the movie. I figure it’s probably a veiled threat about what will happen to Americans if the election doesn’t go the way the left wants it to.

It is to a point. But, in the end, the good guys win.

Why would Texas ally with California?

It's the elephant in the room. They both wanted the same thing, and the US openly attacked them for it.

I will never be afraid of what the Left is up to.

But, you better be prepared for it.

I enjoyed watching it, but it might pretty hard core for some people.

Xactly. Stupid at its most fundamental level.

Texas and California team up to secede?

Seems an unlikely premise.

Thanks. I know there was supposed to be lots of ‘woke’ in there but I watch movies for entertainment. I don’t watch woke millennial boring movies (the reluctant hero’s inner monologue type of movies).

Same here. All the new movies are crap (except the ones by Tom Cruise and few other exceptions).

Maybe Texas got overrun by Californians.

SC, NC, MO and KY would be red.

I found the same with v for vendetta. It was a manual

And that is basically the flaw in this movie.

They made the entire thing bland with flashbacks of bland and a couple of lashings of concentrated bland. Topped with a sprinkling of unbelievably stupid.

It is a distilled room temperature water of a movie.
