Remember! They wouldn't do this if they didn't think they had to - this government action comes from a place of weakness, not strength.
They don't have to, though. There's a vast army of pigs in California. Way more than enough to handle protests of this scale.
They're doing this because they want to.
They know that as the empire continues to fall and their overreach begins to affect more lives, protests will grow.
The standard pigs can handle what we have now, they can't handle what is to come.
Whether this move is to pre-empt a coming change of the "big beautiful bill" that guts medicare/medicaid and other social programs, an even broader "sweeping net" policy on immigration, direct hostilities with Iran/China, something else, or all of the above...
They are predicting a broad national outrage over something.
