the government response will be nil. some individual states will delay this realizing it's really fucking bad but even that isn't close to enough. the federal government will put a bandage over this amputation and call it a day, leaving the discarded limb for the wolves.
it's the stupidest fucking thing a government can do. enough cities are already in revolt to make this obviously. this will kick off the revolution and the continued existence of the american state over the next two years is not even close to guaranteed.
that doesn't mean we win - reactionaries and liberals might carry the ensuing struggle. but it does mean it's 1789 in america and our ruling class manages to be dumber, crueler, and more obviously evil than the fucking french aristocracy so buckle in for the ride.
