If You Haven’t Seen the Movie Civil War — See It!
This movie shows us what could happen whether Trump wins a second term…or not (no spoiler alert necessary).
This article is not a retelling of the Alex Garland film called Civil War. No plot points will be revealed because reality has enough of them to permit me to completely disregard this story from here on out. I will say, though, that when I left the theater and ran into an exiled journalist from Russia in the lobby, my first comment to him was, “Geez, I am not sure if that was an artistic interpretation of our times or a documentary film.”
Standing there, our heads shaking in mutual agreement, we kind of just emitted sounds and grunts of, “What the f***?” The movie is powerful not because it opens the viewer up to new ideas but because it dots the i’s and crosses the t’s for us. It shows us what could happen if Trump wins a second term and what could happen if Trump loses in November. Trump is already preparing the world and, most frighteningly, his cult followers (one seen in the image above) that if he loses, it is likely because “they” — the vermin, the traitors, the Marxists, the Communists, the Socialists, the gays, lesbians, and transgender people, the Mexicans, the Chinese, and the Biden crime family — “stole the election from us again.”
