This map is ... interesting. The backstory behind it could screw with my suspension of disbelief.
The US NW is full of nazis and chuds - Idaho and Montana, especially (Montana militia men still exist. Idaho used to house the hq of the aryan nations). And while some might think Utah would join them, Utah would use a civil war to formally declare Deseret and annex Northern AZ and Nevada. So no way would there be a "New People's Army" in the Northwest, unless that name refers to the chuds themselves.
People forget about parts of CA, mostly eastern CA. Bakersfield and Sacramento is filled with chuds who pitch a fit when people talk about CA - that is, Bakersfield and Sacramento =/= SF and LA. The libs of the Napa Valley would want their own country so it could be wine mom mecca. And then we get to So Cal. People don't know this but the worst governor CA ever had (besides Reagan), that I've had the displeasure of growing up under, and trying to do his shittiest impression of Reagan, came from San Diego. Worked well enough for SD to elect him as Mayor 3 times. He was Gov. of CA twice.
Pete Wilson. Fucker.
TX might have a lot in common with eastern CA, but a "better" civil war map would also have SF and LA form their own state along the coast, giving it most of the economic power. Forgive for me for saying for this cursed name: "San Angeles".
Also, Houston might break away from TX and form its own state. And TX would pull a Deseret and re-establish the Republic of Texas, saying "fuck CA".
Anyway, just a lot "wrong" with that fictional map.
i did a dive and watched whatever trailers exist and read some articles.
supposedly the "loyalist" states are loyal to the federal government, which has suspended elections and basically become a presidential dictatorship which catalyzed the civil war. it kicked off when the federal government slaughtered some "antifa" movement so im guessing a mass execution of protestors. the Florida alliance are basically states that opted out and seceded but are fighting defensively only.
the texas-cali alliance is one of convenience as they are actively engaging the federal government to topple it and restore the "republic" (makes sense as those two states would likely be military powerhouses) and when the movie starts they are making rapid gains
know nothing about the NW insurgency. maybe robert evans is leading an army of anarcho-bidenist polycules
Libs.
So the NuSouth is actually new? Why is it still sectioned on the old Confederate state lines tho? Won't fight but defend itself. Does that mean it's majority Black in the South?
Like I said, East Cali and TX have similar chuds but first chance it gets, TX is saying sayonara to CA. And lolwut? "Restore the Republic" ? In who's imagination? Seems ripped out of the Jericho TV show for that one.
Thanks for doing the deep dive. I now think most Yanks won't accept this movie and it'll fail at the box office. A24's biggest dud. The libs might like it though.
oh the libs are going to love it
and it's also just going to help fuel their hysteria about trump and yaaaay good times ahead!
The entire Gulf coast would break away from Texas and promptly get made into a Saudi vassal state
