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.

That was by design so the right couldn't complain about being the bad guys.

I think it’s also realistic to what tends to happen in real modern civil wars. People tend to form coalitions with those they aren’t 100% aligned with to amass power, and then things fall apart when they win. Also Texas and California are the two states that could raise powerful armies on their own.
