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

From Texas here, we'd never align with California on anything even if they're in the right. Ethically, Texas has fallen quite a bit.

They have something like the 5th largest gdp in the world.

Behind us(prolly formally),china,Germany,Japan

I'm sure after the last few days and months of Trump, that list has changed.
