Do you think there will be masses of people going to DC if "it"

steals the election through the SCOTUS or through other ways (Barr does something, the States' electors don't vote for who really won, etc)? If we had a couple of million show up in DC, like they do in other countries, would it show the govt who the majority is? Or would Barr just gas everyone?

...and met with lethal force. Whereupon Trump would nationalize the Guard and send it into every “blue” city in America.

National strike. Everyone head to DC. Camp there, refuse to leave. Bring the economy/country to a halt. I'll die there if need be. Better than suffering through 4 more years of this hellish nightmare.

I can stay with a relative there. It may come down to this.

No Womens March this year (probably due to Covid).
