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

If America has another Civil War, think “Carolinas in the 1780s” (feuding families settling scores) or “Bloody Kansas” (with anti-slavery and pro-slavery Bushwhackers indiscriminately killing).

President bombs American citizens only after the camps are full reelection on track per MSM.

AND the push to allow illegal aliens, with ZERO in common or love for the USA, in the military.

A writer at Vice says that Texas and inland California are a lot alike. Sure, but the California coast has more people and makes the state very different from Texas. A California writer speculates that California and Texas are the only states rich enough and big enough to take on the rest of the country, so the idea of them joining forces came naturally to the author. The filmmaker is British and more into big effects than making sense.

California and Texas together? Not gonna happen.

The entire middle and South of the Country against the coastal elites? That's far more likely to happen.

The Central Valley from Bakersfield all the way to Redding in the north other than Sacramento is very conservative. Other than LA the coast and San Fransisco the central state is heavily armed and heavily Republican and conservative. The split up of California and the spit up of Eastern Oregon that wants to join with Idaho could easily become the nexus of a western alliance supported by Texas. That much is not very far fetched. In Fresno we are sick to death of the taxes and immoral laws and edicts coming out of Sacramento and the unconstitutional laws not put down by the courts. Watching big democrat cities burn down for the last four years and seeing the hell holes that LA and San Francisco have become makes a movie like this seem not so unreal. Who is really running the government?

More Predictive Programming. This is material used to place ideas into the minds of the very weak to get them used to the idea of something like the plot of this film, may happen in the USA in the future be it near future or later.

The bad guys will be for all intents and purposes will be portrayed as Republican or Conservative without the specifics of names. The victims and heroes will be, of course, gays, trans, women of color, weak men who cry a lot,...you get the picture.

There will be more of these types of programs coming in the future, each one designed to put a little fear in to the world and to instruct the sheep that anyone who does not follow the ideals of Liberals/Commies/Socialists...you get the idea, is a bad person.

Why they used the jab to force out loyal Americans and replacing them with imported contract killers, while dangling a carrot of “citizenship”. They’ll use them until a future opportunity to condemn them as a “right-wing MAGA terrorist”.

Not sure how Texas and California end up united, but okay ...

Confusing as well.

Of course, drive 30 miles inland from the coast and California becomes a whole different place politically.

In the movie, California and Texas are aligned together.

Uhm, what?

A movie from the left in response to “The Hunt”.

I saw this on the internet:

I guess it was a good thing we stopped letting the British draw our borderlines.

Not a good thing: our government forgetting where the borderlines are.

People actually believe a lot of stuff they see in future fantacy movies is real. My concern is that this movie could actually make the concept of a civil war in the US actually being a serious possible reality could literally spark it. I think it is a real risk.

Just another thing that plays into my belief that, internationally, 2024 is gonna be one for the history books. Like 1939. This is just one facet. Gaza, Ukraine, China, the border, et-al are others.

Kentucky should be in that Florida Alliance. I do believe Califirnia is rapidly becoming red, and a lot of folks that moved from California to Texas have family in California, so I think they really could be “together” as the movie suggests.

Washington siding with the Dakotas, montana and Idaho is ludicrous.
