You said — If they think theyve seen a big tax protest to this point, wait until they implement this.

How are you going to see a “tax protest” for a sales tax that your state has had for years, so far? I don’t understand that. It’s the very same sales tax that you were supposed to be paying all these years, regardless if it was online or “brick-and-mortar”...
So, “where’s the protest” for what you’ve been paying on your state’s sales tax all along?
The internet has been pretty much tax free so far. When I buy out of state they seldom add taxes. So there really is a big deal here. And the on-line places like QVC and HSN are going to have a lot of customers angry over this.
It won't consist of active protests on street corners with tiny bags of dried beverages. It might consist of more underground means of protest. I can see people using fake IDs (much as illegal aliens do) to establish addresses in states that don't have sales taxes to get out of paying.
