From what I've seen, it looks more like they are big proponents of whatever excuse they can find to push their agenda. "States' rights" just happens to be a convenient excuse.
Man pushing the narrative that Trump sent the military into a liberal state to fix things with positive results is surely not a precursor to anything sinister...
Hank Scorpio : Uh, hi, Homer. What can I do for you?
Homer : Sir, I need to know where I can get some business hammocks.
Hank Scorpio : Hammocks? My goodness, what an idea. Why didn't I think of that?
Hammocks! Homer, there's four places. There's the Hammock Hut, that's on third.
Homer : Uh-huh.
Hank Scorpio : There's Hammocks-R-Us, that's on third too. You got
Put-Your-Butt-There.
Homer : Mm-Hmm.
Hank Scorpio : That's on third. Swing Low, Sweet Chariot... Matter of fact, they're all in the same complex; it's the hammock complex on third.
Instead, the agency said, the federal government "restarted federal water pumps after they were offline for maintenance for three days," adding: "State water supplies in Southern California remain plentiful."
This means that those "federal water pumps" can be turned off at Trump's whim.
"The United States Military just entered the Great State of California and, under Emergency Powers, TURNED ON THE WATER flowing abundantly from the Pacific Northwest, and beyond," Trump wrote. "The days of putting a Fake Environmental argument, over the PEOPLE, are OVER. Enjoy the water, California!!!"
So more regressive nonsense to derail environmental protections and pose himself as a savior to people that can't or won't fact check.

They said they were and I don't think they'd say something without meaning it.

Turned on the water…. For farms, who over use water.
Trump: water never runs out!! This isn’t a plot to drain California dry to destroy it.
