I wouldn’t think they’d want to divide their efforts, but on the other hand, they may be seeking to divide the response of the Oathkeepers, etc.
Having a lot of "smaller" issues makes it harder for the people focus on them, and pull themselves away from the Idiot Box (TV) and their favorite show.
Having a major event, would cause a lot more people to sit up and possibly rally. Just look at the overwhelming sense of unity that happened on 9/11. It take a week or so for some to resort back to their brain dead ways, but I'm sure they'd probably prefer to not any sense of unity at all.
Also, smaller events are easier to make it seem like it is just a fringe element.
