I don't understand how a viewer could associate either side in "Civil War" with righteousness. Garland goes to great lengths *not* to list the causes of the war or what Texas and California (!) could agree on so strongly. (Contrast it with the painstaking way "The Expanse" explains these.) So I'm looking forward to your thoughts.

My theory is this movie is set in some alternate U.S. of the near future. So I’m not sure our real Texas/California politics matter.

The important states in the movie seem to be Texas, California, and Florida. I think their real-world politics matter less than the fact that they are all big states with large populations.
