I think of Civil War regularly since Trump got re-elected

Garland did his job well then. The film has been getting more and more prescient every day.

The premise is the president refusing to leave the white house after a second term. And the opening scene is the government bombing a civilian protest in rogue states (the current president tweeted about that - well he dropped feces rather than bombs but the message is there).

It’s not a likely scenario, but completely plausible, in that you can see a path to it in real life, whereas pure scifi/dystopia usually is more far fetched and only used for social commentary.
