Characters
Hi, I'm Nick Offerman, the not-so-subtle stand-in for Donald Trump. I'm a little expensive these days, so you won't see me again until the end of the film. I'm unambiguously evil, and that's about all the writers could trust you with.
We're the most boring fricking characters ever put to film. I literally skipped all the scenes where these two have heart-to-hearts
ay mang i'm the cool self-insert, I have literally no character development whatsoever nor do I ever drive the plot. I played pablo escobar that one time
Worldbuilding
A civil war in america? Wow, lots to play with here, one can only imagine the vast array of characters, factions and locations you could have, not to mention the deep political commentar-
b-word you thought. There's just one faction called 'Western Forces', that's it, that's all you'll ever know about them. Also they're California and Texas, cos frick you, they famously agree on everything. trust me tho that president is a real bad hombre. Here's a pointless scene of me buying a hat. There's also something called the 'Florida Alliance' which I'll mention once but then forget about despite my being from there.
Oh, you wanted some exposition on how this thing started? That would be a little political sweety, can I interest you in a timewasting scene where we watch two guys snipe an unseen third guy?
Plot
being a journ*list is heroic, brave, and real. We literally never lie or act like cowards. I'll put this gay platitudinous message like a pill into the cheese of barely-passable action scenes in the hopes you'll lap it up. I'm gonna tie these action scenes together with a poorly written string of roadtrip sequences so it seems like a film.
then there's this shitty scene where the characters learn the power of love and friendship in some godforsaken hippie 
commie 
pinko liberal 
commune, by this point the nausea had reached a fever pitch 
oopsie 
spoilers! The film ends with a brave black QUEEN 
shooting the Trump Stand-in. She's all like. "y'all crackers don't season yo chicken" And then pops two in him. Everyone claps, racism is defeated. There is no denouement despite the pseudo-main character, played by a tremendously 
post-wall Kirsten Dunst 
, dying at the end.
The Good
This guy was awesome. I think he was an allegory for chuds and was supposed to appear kind of stupid or bumbling but was pretty menacing. He shot a

There's an unintentionally funny scene at the beginning where a bunch of 
water priestesses and 
lunchtime rowdies are screamin bout dey stimulus cheqs, they're going 'WHERES MUH WADDAH' 'WHERES MAH FOOD' and they all get fricking blown to kingdom come by a 
. I think the libshit writers imagined this would be some heavy-hitting 'woah this film is the real deal' moment but it literally played like comedy, stonetoss could've written this scene

I don't get how Nick Offerman's character is supposed to be Trump and I suspect that people who draw that connection have some insecurities about their political identity.

The main indicator of his politics is that hes a dictator and his followers appear to like only be white people, and Not Trump-specific, but descriptors people have been applying to Trump for a decade

I was thinking not of his direct employees/personal guard, but of Jesse Plemons, and that guy near the start with the hanged men behind the store, and the white woman with an American flag who blows herself up at the start

None of them are explicitly aligned with the President. You assumed that because you're a wingcuck. In fact, Plemons is lightly hinted to be aligned with Western Forces.

'Lightly hinted'. It's white nationalists vs their diverse victims, it's not Trump-specific but it's a choice that reads a certain way.
There's a difference between lore-obsession and trying to get your bearings in the world of a film. When it's 'modern US civil war' the mind finds patterns to try and make sense of it. I mostly agree with you, and that a lot of people jumped straight to Current Year. But while they avoided a lot of Current Year portrayals, intentionally, it's still inflected with modern Hollywood.

I don't think Jesse Plemons' character was meant to be a supporter of President Ron Swanson. He honestly just seemed to be the type of backwoods, hick conspiratard who would use any opportunity they had to kill people that they didn't like. I work with a number of people like this, and for all their talk about "morals" and how godless and terrible liberals are, and how weak "cuckservatives" are, they still manage to remain worse than either of those groups by almost any metric.
