California I could see. It's Hard to imagine Texas seceding over Trump taking a third term. If the Republicans in Congress right now are any indication then they will welcome any unconstitutional moves so long as it benefits Trump/their "team".

A prior discussion about this, iirc, noted that Texas was chosen to make it less overtly political, but I haven't seen the movie.

The movie is fantastic btw. It's a love story to war journalism and an actual fantastic depiction of what civil war here would be like.

One of the few movies I've watched repeatedly.

Interesting. I'll have to track it down.

But maybe in 5 years or so. Until then I can just read the news.
