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'm sure it was intentionally noncommital on left/right politics to be more broadly palatable, but I wish it had been honest and just made the bad guys be the bad guys

Because thats not how it works. Basically no American citizen is ready to engage in a civl war, no matter what side they are on. Many of the "bad guys" would also be victims of different combatant groups fighting over territory. Many good guys might technically be in "enemy" territory and forced to participate in battle efforts, if just to keep food, water ready and available. Thats the best part of the movie, it shows the societal collapse that would happen, and how localized things would become.
