Would anyone make a movie trying to be even handed about Nazis?
Remember the old saying, Conservatives think liberals are people with bad ideas; liberals think conservatives are bad people.

Guerrilla marketing?

Strong odds are it will push a woke agenda making it unwatchable.

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.

Several are saying "of course lefties in Austin loved it" but don't you think if this film pushed the political angle you're so worried about, those lefty reviewers would be crowing about that aspect of the movie instead of saying "you can't tell who's the bad guy"?

I'm not talking about the clowns at CNN, MSNBC, etc. who simply parrot their assigned talking points.  Matt Taibbi, James O'Keefe, and others who are still doing investigative journalism to expose what's really going on behind the scenes are heroes in their own right because we know there are powerful people willing to have journalists murdered to keep their secrets.

This post. Russia, China, North Korea and various others would immediately take advantage of a U.S. Civil War. Europe will be full Ukraine, Taiwan will be glass. The only thing keeping the world as we know it from burning up is the USNavy being the World Police. So there goes your smart phones, internet service, medications, fuel, ect. Everything in our modern world and convenience will be gone. It will quickly become like Africa without cell service and a lot of dead and dying cancer patients and diabetics. So I shall see if this movie is true to reality or will it be an utter joke of people ordering Dominos with the app then rolling over and sniping Antifa.

The story of 'Bloody Bill' (William) Cunningham shows how retributive violence can spiral out of control in a civil war.


Cunningham, a young man of approximately 19 in 1775, and thought to have either been born in the Ninety-Six district of SC, or in the Ulster province of Ireland, was initially inclined to support the American cause of independence.
He enlisted in a local militia regiment as that young man. However, he was arrested and given a court martial for attempting to 'strike terror' into his men for the purpose of 'control'. Acquitted of the charges, he was released and returned to Ninety-Six.
Cunningham then participated in Col. Andrew Williamson’s campaign  against the Cherokee in 1776, where a combined militia of Patriots and  Loyalists sacked, plundered, and burned several Cherokee towns. Somewhat disgusted, and it being unclear why, he left the unit.

Having a grievance against his former commander John Caldwell. Possibly going AWOL, and escaping to somewhere near Savannah, he received word that the Whig Patriot, William Ritchie had abused both his brother and father. Cunningham's brother died as a result of the assault. Vowing vengeance, Cunningham went to face Ritchie at his house. Ritchie “tried to escape over the fence, but Cunningham shot him down . . .

Shortly thereafter, a Patriot militia captain named Samuel Moore abused [read: raped/sexual assault]  the wife of Cunningham’s brother, Andrew, while he was searching for  Cunningham. After a horse chase of about a mile and a half, “Cunningham overtook him and . . . cut him down with sword."
By September 1781, William Cunningham and his Loyalist company had  reached the British defenses at Charleston, where news filtered into the  city about fresh persecutions endured by Loyalist families.

These  persecutions only increased when on September 27, 1781, South Carolina  governor John Rutledge issued a proclamation ordering the forced removal  of Loyalists’ families who either refused parole or where ineligible  for it.
These reports prompted William Cunningham to raid in the Little River District again, killing eight.

n November 1781, he and a loyalist comrade, Hezekiah Williams converged on an encampment that Williams had a previous skirmish with earlier in the same day, that led by Capt. Sterling Turner.
After a firefight of nearly 2 hours, Turner's  20+ men offered to surrender to nearly 200 loyalist militia inclusive of Cunningham. Likely due to the fact that they ran out of ammunition.
Turner's offer of a peaceful surrender was rebuffed. Cunningham reportedly cut Turner's head off w/ his sword. Eventually killing all but one, he also reportedly cut the hands off another man while still alive before killing him.
Known as a Clouds Creek massacre, one of my ancestors was among those killed by Cunningham.
Cunningham's blood lust overtook any form of rationality. Perhaps he was always inclined to it, however, American militia engaged in their own retributive violence in the backcountry.

The Revolutionary War, esp in the South was a civil war.
