Of curse it would. But i'd bet money they don't show what kind of a terrible shit hole, killing ground the inner cities would also become.

Hence, selective expressions of only one side of the civilian populous commiting war crimes expresses a very clear bias.

I haven't seen it either, but I sort of suspect that's the point...pair up TX and CA so it's not an obvious red vs blue movie. Unbelievable? Sure, but it's not a documentary and as the current reviews are saying it's NOT about the politics.
IMO it may be sort of a "press the I believe button" that FTL travel is real so we can get a cool sci-fi movie.

We'll see.

Fighting within the cities between clearly deliniated forces does not equal the breakdown of society within the cities and the rise of violent street gangs ala the current debacle in Haiti, or to an even worse extent than we experience post hurricane Katrina.

It could be that  California citizens finally got red pilled and overthrew the Marxist state administration? All the woke folk FAFOed and getting offed by pissed citizen victims of an oppressive state government, maybe prompting a civil war? The possibility is there. Just spitballing.

Okay...how do you know it doesn't show that, and why does it have to if it's not what the movie is about?

It's like you have extremely specific requirements for what is and is not included in a movie, and if it should deviate from that then it's a woke(?) mess.

I'd grant you that. By not identifying the political party of the president in that scenario, they can claim they are not being political and ignore the rest of their clear bias as they clearly show boogboys doing terrible shit while at the same time, ignoring the inner cities devolving or the amount of heinous shit the antifatards would be pulling off that would make the boogboys look like choir boys.

My point is that none of us have even seen it yet, but it sound promising so far.

Your point is that it doesn't show war crimes in the cities (which you don't even know if it's true) therefore it's biased.

Exactly, can you imagine the chaos that would take place almost immediately.

If the film shows a clean break between two large conventional armies than that's going to be laughably oversimplified and unrealistic.

It's like in the "Red Dawn" remake when the Wolverines can still get their foot long subs from the Subway restaurant within occupied territory held by North Korean forces. That sort of unrealistic crap takes me out of movies just too much.  So, if there are people who can get gas from a gas station and electricity still powering the country it's just going to be silly.

Also, what happenes to all of the foreign deployed military assets and our allies or for that matter our enemies around the world?

If the USA ever went into such a catastrophy the whole damn world would quickly devolve into a Mad Max scenario at an astonishingly fast pace.  Nearly every place on earth would end up like Haiti pretty quickly.  The Fall of Rome would have nothing on us in terms of total chaos.

What's the aftermath in the film look like? Is the McDonalds back open and everyone just hugging it out?  If it was even close to reality the only end result would be a thousand years of chaos and darkness on par with the dark ages.  That's really the message that needs to be driven home, U.S. domestic stability is the most important thing in the world and if our Republic falls everything falls with it. Nothing on earth is more vital and precious than the United States of America, which is why the elites who are running this nation into the ground are so monsterous.

We have this thing we rely on when making judgement calls. It's called experience based on past performance.

Knowing how hollywood has fucked up everything else in the past with very few exceptions, experience tells us this is a deceptive film that claims one thing while showing subtle biases that contradict their spoken word.

I have been hurt before, therefore i don't need to get run over with a car to know it's also going to hurt. Anticipation of an outcome based on prior experience.

One thing that gives me hope is that they actually made the Hunger Games movies . And everyone rooted AGAINST the government . Does that translate to “waking up “ to the authoritarian nature of our government ? Not so far .....

Also trying to make the “journalists “ into the heroes or at least the people we root for is suspect at best
