What kind of American are you?' a soldier character asks in trailer

A different kind of "Civil War" will debut in 2024 ahead of the presidential election, courtesy of a new movie whose trailer just came out.

Written and directed by Alex Garland, "Civil War" is described in a tagline as "a race to the White House in a near-future America balanced on the razor’s edge." In the two-and-a-half-minute trailer from A24, the "razor’s edge" appears to be a modern civil war following the secession of 19 states.

The trailer contains various provocative images, including U.S. soldiers and military tanks tearing through American cities during an apparent uprising.

"Do you regret the use of airstrikes on American citizens?" a journalist appears to ask the "three-term" president, played by Nick Offerman

This story kinda mixes the “100 Days” series and “Indian Country” et al (Schlichter) storylines.

The way to make this work for the ‘Blues’ is that in the lead up to it all, the Pentagon re-positions ALL air, air defense, UAV, armor, anti-armor and mechanized equipment and ‘loyal staff’ OUT of Red state bases into Blue bases.

No one dare object, or else ...

Once they put the balloon up, they will have *ALL* the modern warfare assets.

Sure the states have National Guard equipment, but they get it AFTER the Army and the Marines wear it out.

It’s right out of Sun Tsu - defeat your enemy and then go to war.

But again, the Taliban didn’t have any either, until recently.

I’m beginning to wonder how many people who would be willing to fight for their freedom (and their neighbors) are left.

Just leverage the “New California” movement/idea. Everything along the coast from Sonoma over to Sacramento down to the border stays with legacy California. The rest of the state breaks away.

Multiple authors have postulated a similar split off.

Laughable trailer, lots of CGI drone shots but no real carnage, someone greenlighted a streamer but decided to pack it up as a theater piece because Election Year.

Dunst is probably one of the worst at promoting a movie ever since she lost her looks.

Hopefully some scandal involving the principals chokes off the air of this garbage before it even hits the 1/2-price matinee...

Bombing citizens, throwing them in solitary for entering the Capitol, what’s the difference?

It’s funny how they think it’ll turn out this way, as all that has to happen is for 1 million armed rednecks from MD, PA, NC, and WV to drive a few hours to DC and change the government themselves.

The problem will be who or what replaces it.

I’m gonna guess the “3rd term President” represents a certain MAGA president who won’t leave office and declares himself president for life. No one is buying Clinton and Cheney’s “Trump is a dictator” crap, so they will push a propaganda film to show us “what a Trump presidency will look like”.

The villains will be conservatives because the movie, TV, and 'press' stand with the sexual weirdo community and commie 'progressives'...

Isn’t this Obama’s movie where a little black girl tells her black daddy that she is terrified of white people?

Just two weeks ago the military started saying illegal aliens are to be recruited because they successfully gaslighted Americans to not join yet accept that there is a recruitment shortfall.

Since it’s much more likely it’d be a Dem doing it (refer to 0Biden’s Two (dozen) Minutes of Hate), it’s not much of a stretch. Although, of course, Hollyweird will make it backwards.

He might as well have with his Philadelphia Nighttime Nuremburg Red Rally complete with the two US Marine storm troopers behind him.

Is the “three-term” president, played by Nick Offerman going to have a same-sex partner, like he did before?

Yes. I have a retired army major living next door who insists that in case of civil war the army would support the anti communist forces. I told him don’t be so sure. Obama purged the ranks of patriot generals on down. Actually I recall that Obama made them take an oath that they would shoot Americans if so order. Anyone who said no was purged. Now the officer class owe their positions to communists.

ps

That said I have a thing for Kirsten Dunst and will see the movie. I hope we win.

the purge of military people that wouldn’t follow an unlawful order started under Obama.
