I know this film's going to have a wack premise when they put California and Texas into an alliance. That said I am pretty interested.
The only thing I can think of is either there was a fascist coup from northern California, or they are allied very loosely as mostly independent entities.
I think it's more that they explicitly made t unlike real life politics to avoid painting either side a particular way.
I'm thinking they probably did that to avoid people talking about the politics and who and why, and focus more on how horrifying Civil War would be. They've described it as horror. I believe them.
Northern California is basically Oregon. The fascists are in central California and Orange county.
They did it to avoid any living political movements. It's hamfisty, but effective.
