States setting their own trade agreements is totally unconstitutional, but we haven't been following that for a while now anyway. I'm hoping the whole west coast can form it's own trade coalition.

The biggest far fetched idea in there wasn’t the movie, it was which states were aligned with each other.

Yeah, it honestly feels like the people who made the movie wussed out on calling it like it is with the political alignments of the States and which States would follow the insane president, which States would go against them, and which would go their own way.
