      It makes sense since California and Texas would be the two most likely to leave. It would be an alliance of convenience as both would need each other to make it work. You don't need to be best pals to have an alliance if you have a common goal and a common enemy. History has shown that many times two sides can come together despite major differences if there is a larger threat.

      I think it's more like Washington is now a tyrannical regime (3rd term President etc.) trying to stay in power no matter what and Texas and California being two of the largest economies in the country would work together. It also looks like the Florida Alliance is a thing, and some sort of New York alliance as well (there's a map shown in the trailer in a mirror and you can see how the country is divided in this world) so it's much more plausible than so many people seem to think.

    TX and CA could leave the Union if the federal goverment didnt agree politically. Both states are so large they could run as if they were their own countries.

Also whats happening in Colorado with removing Trump from the ballot may trigger political division to point of pushing for states taking sides.

      At the time of the Civil War people identified to a state and not the nation. Lee was offered command of the Union Army by Lincoln, but declined because he considered himself a Virginian above all else. He resigned his commission to the US Army and took the commission as commander of the army of Northern Virginia CSA.
      I sometimes wonder how many carriers , destroyers and subs would end up in Galveston , Houston. Mobile Al. or Jackson Fl.
      Where I live who's orders would the commanders of Ft. Riley and Mc Connell AFB follow. According to the movies map almost every state that pulls away has the heavy mechanized unit posts. You also have the National Guard and ANG units which when put together is a formidable force.

    One thing people miss in the trailer, if you watch it with subtitles. In the beginning few moments you see the words "third term President" show up on screen as a News Anchor is reading the headline.
    Simply put Nick Offerman's character as the President, something has to have occurred prior to cause or allow a President to exceed the maximum allowed terms of service (2 terms 8 years) and retain power.
    Yes currently California and Texas presently are more likely to go to war against each other unless they both share an equal grievance against the current Executive Office.
    The Western Forces do seem to comprise mainly of Red Majority States with a few acceptions (Oregon and Washington) Florida is and always will be that wild and crazy cousin that's ever ready to party 😂.
    Most of the map places the North East, mid Atlantic and a few southern states as loyal to this current administration.

They are being pretty careful it seems - but assuming they are human, (not entirely a given these days,) they are going to have a perspective they can't hide. So I'm expecting some kind of message.
    Speaking about the "Art" as a window on the "Real" though - we don't even have a theory of this "division". As I study it I keep turning up new aspects that deserves exposure - more than an academic paper. Nobody's going to be happy about the truth.

    Our country is divided and there is a lot of people heavily armed. Mostly veterans. That’s why I think this could happen in the future. The fact that we fought a 20 year war resulted in thousands of fellow combat veterans with combat experience in Iraq and Afghanistan. The government is armed but limited in the used of heavy weapons. I would say that if it happens, it is going to be bloody and it would destroy the economy. Other countries would more than likely join the fight too.

    In 1860, when the 1st American civil war broke out, there were too many people that did not take it seriously. They learned the very hard way that war is not a joke. War is a continuation of politics by other means, and I mean extreme means. Now here we are in the 2020's and history may repeat itself. A modern civil war here in our country, in our own back yards, will be even more ugly and deadly than the first. It will be not something you would or should want to happen in real-life.

      You'd be surprised how often two groups put their seemingly insurmountable differences aside to achieve or overcome something else. Humans often have more in common than they realise. And I don't want to invalidate your thoughts on any conflicts between them, but I would like to point out that in THIS universe they both are currently part of the "United" States and regardless of public or political opinion those states see more value in working together than apart.
      I hope this comment doesn't come across as some random words on the internet disagreeing with you, but rather as a friendly human trying to provide a perspective I think about a lot as strive for confrontation to be resolved via conversation and collaboration rather than assaults, atrocities and assimilation.
