A movie my wife had no interest in seeing (she’s smarter than me) was “Civil War.” She was out of town for a week, so I decided to go see it myself.
It had been in the theater for about two weeks at that point. I was one of three people in the theater. I don’t know what I expected, but I think I got what I deserved “good and hard.” The plot wasn’t about a second American civil war. The plot was a back massage of journalists. And a subplot seems to be “Orange Man Bad.”
The film opens with Nick Offerman playing a Trumpy “third-term” president. Trumpy intones that “victory is at hand” and “Some are already calling it the greatest victory in the history of mankind.” Even Politico recognized the “Trumpy” allegory.
There is no explanation for how a Trumpy president managed to stay in office for a “third term,” but I think that was the filmmaker’s…
