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.
No it comes from long experience of knowing they will get away with it.
Then why didn't they do it before? Or sooner?
There's a reason they delayed doing this.
Because they've been slowly sounding out how much they could get away with for a long time: pushing the envelope a little bit further, seeing what the response is, and then pushing it some more then they see they can get away with it.
They need to do this to maintain authority and control. I don't mean they need to do this for public safety or anything.
This is likely a part of the Authoritarian plan, as opposed to a response to loss of control.
It's not about a loss of control, it's about maintaining control to prevent a loss of control. They don't want another BLM summer.
I still think that they have been looking for an excuse, in order to change the paradigm in a fundamental way.
