I think that's a strange interpretation. It's clearly a near-future America.
You rarely see this kind of film set in the States, as mentioned previously. That's what sets it apart from other war films. Of course the warring factions' political leanings are left ambiguous, but it's some variation of left vs right.
You didn't see the president shot dead on January 6 but it was a dark day in that nation's history.
