This movie was cooked up by the wrong writer because it panders to existing American extremism in the nation. Now listen. I think you can do a fictional Second American Civil War in fiction in good faith. Kaiserreich depicts an interesting one in the 1940s. This ain’t it though https://t.co/EHZdWttWFy
