Also, helping someone that close to the blast without tons of medical equipment immediately available to them is unlikely to save their life.

It's more realistic than people would think. While LA and SF are very liberal in California, the rest of California is really right-wing, just like Texas. So, it makes sense that when war breaks out, the right-wing, well-armed people in California quickly oust the liberals and take over

[@Padre_416]

It’s due to the fact that both states are have a high population density as well as a very high GPD per capita - combined they would have the funding, resources, and manpower to actually go up against the US and win. It’s a matter of working together to fight a common enemy despite the obvious rift in the state’s political ideologies. Funding and logistics win wars. There are many examples in history where an offensive failed due to poor logistics and/or lack of resources.

To take out the water the police were "protecting" while it was being rationed. Basically a terrorist that was taking out something of "high value".
