I don’t know where they’re going to go with that film. I’m sure it’s purpose is to smear people like me. But I got a chuckle when I watched the trailer. One of the belligerents is “The Western Alliance of Texas and California.” Would never happen.
Reminds me a lot about that movie where people were locked in their homes because of a pandemic, which got a lot of press from the trailer then was never heard of again.
Or V for Vendetta where they pretended it would be the far right that manufactures a disease and magically has the cure that they use to gain power and control.
I mean, that was a very distinct possibility since they're playing both sides of the public discourse while people keep imagining it as right vs left. They don't care which of the two artificial political pillars they've built is responsible, only that they succeed in provoking the resistance to create a new empire for them to usurp, since they're too intellectually and morally bankrupt to actually create anything themselves, and can only take what other people make.
Yes, I think that it will be a lot more complicated and messy than they say it will. If anything, I imagine that one aspect they might overlook is the possibility that people would/will take advantage of the chaos to carry out criminal activity at a time when enforcement of the law would be at it's weakest, regardless of which side they ostensibly (or sincerely) collaborate with.
Backstory is probably a few million Californians moved to Texas; and together with an additional several million illegals, turned it deep blue.
East California will destroy all the roads going into the cities before they'll ever form an alliance with Texas.
"B... b... but, we've moved so many Californians to Texas, just like we did to Colorado!"
With this title I thought it was a bamboozler thread.
Saw the trailer for this the other day at the cinema and couldn't help but laugh.
Reckon it's going to be a straw man on current day politics or will be unexpectedly woke?
Unexpectedly?
I'm certain the cumulative sale of red tint sunglasses went up near infinity percent after the "what kind of American are you" trailer dropped.

I have to be honest, this one kind of baffles me. I don't know why they would produce something like this right now. It's obviously playing off of what is in the public consciousness, but why? They surely know how tense things are in America at the moment, with two rapidly crystallising factions battling for its destiny. What is the point of provoking this very volatile situation with a piece of media like this?
Is it just a case of art imitating life? I've been robbed of the notion that any media get produced without the say so of the powers that be. If so, why would they tempt fate like this? It reminds me of 2016 when people memed Donald Trump's presidency into being. Are they trying to meme a civil war into being?
Best example of that is during 2020 election they were shocked that voters they spoke to weren’t paranoid about Covid or climate change
Or when that black guy talked to a bunch of Trump supporters at a protest and they were all polite to him, but when he walked back to where all the liberals were they treated him with disdain because he spoke to 'the enemy'.
Oh yea. Forgot about that.
