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.

I dunno that it was a love story to journalism so much as it was a scathing critique of the industry from the perspective of a veteran journalist.

It echoed my biggest problems with the business, I thought it was refreshingly candid rather than naively romantic about journalism.
