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.

Now the plot of Civil War doesn’t seem so far fetched.

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

Actual people fighting as a cohesive army was the REALLY farfetched idea. A Civil War will much more closely resemble large, armed, protest groups meeting armed counter-protestors. Some shots will be fired, everyone will scatter. You'll have about a dozen or so casualties. That will be a daily occurrence.
