As long as it ends as the movie ends. Then I’m all for it.

I love it when life imitates art.

Agreed. The thought that Cali and Texas would pair up was inconceivable... but, this, this could be how it occurs. Damn.

I did not expect a mashup between Civil War, Handmaid's tale and Idiocracy.

u/Wabusho 18h ago

It’s definitely coming yes. Everyone with a brain can see it

u/esoteric_enigma 19h ago

I just can't see California and Texas joining forces

Enough Texans might wake up if a president seized a third term after massacring a bunch of peaceful protesters.

6

u/VirginiaMcCaskey 18h ago

They'd be the ones doing the massacring and voting

I mean, there were 3 or 4 different factions all heading to DC. CA and TX didn't need to be technically allied when they shared a common enemy.

u/ImAnOptimistISwear Oregon 16h ago

all the deep red MAGAs have to leave Texas to defend dear leader in DC and Florida, leaving Al Green and Jasmine Crockett in charge just long enough to make it happen.

u/1maginasian 18h ago

1st is Texas immigration, Bannons coked out mentions of a 3rd term, now Cali. Just need florida do something and it matches.

u/Orange_Tang 17h ago

The most difficult part of that movie to believe wasn't that there was a civil war, it's that Texas and California were on the same side.

u/mymikerowecrow 15h ago

If California actually seceded or joined Canada how likely would it actually be to cause a civil war? It seems to be if Trump hates California so much he wouldn’t be so resistant to this to start a war over it

u/anarchyx34 New York 18h ago

I haven’t seen that movie yet and now I’m terrified to watch it.

u/krizzlybear 17h ago

"What kind of American are you?"

u/kelpkelso 15h ago

Vote to join Canada, your state representative could become Mp’s instead. I bet if the USA lost even one state they’d impeach him so fast

I wish. We'd devastate the red hats
