I guess they underestimate how much the left values non-violent resistance. They wont throw the first punch. I don’t agree with it, but I think the regime is pissed off by it. Everything seems to be clogging the wheels, the courts throwing things out, investigations, lawsuits. They need Martial Law to be able to use an Iron Fist. And they have to be completely certain that Iron Fist will hold.
Honestly I think they thought they could gain more direct control faster, remember many of them have only traveled around the US via jet so their idea of how big it actually is is comparable to like Fallout 3. Fact of the matter is the US is fucking massive if which requires a shit tonne of bureaucracy to maintain and they can’t do what they want with it intact, this has resulted in them most likely being bogged down dealing with bureaucrats who have no reason to listen to them. So instead they do their damndest to just burn everything down, which will inevitably weaken their position since they are reliant on soft power.
Also I think Americans are generally more resistant to enacting violence on the feds since they can always pull more manpower from elsewhere. I suspect if the feds start showing an unwillingness or inability to move assets around I suspect that you will see an almost Iceni level of violence towards the feds, this also somewhat applies to cops since they are likely to get federal assistance.
My guess is they are trying to do everything they can to incite violence so they can declare martial law.
