Honestly, I think the entire idea for the inauguration should be reviewed and re-conceived. It's too dangerous in my opinion.
Personally, I would do it INSIDE the White House.

In the wake of the attempted fascistic coup on Jan 6th, Far Right groups are now planning a "Million Militia March for Jan 20th, inauguration day.
Right-wing telegrams ran a poll yesterday. "Do you want total war?" When I took these screencaps last night, 80% answered yes.

(32,787 posts)The last crowd was estimated at just under 10k. They will never achieve a million marchers. Theyd be lucky to have 20k
Theyre being very foolish if they try this. DC is/will be an armed fortress with 6,500 Ntl guard troops alone. They cannot go up against the US military, SS, state police from several states and do anything but fail SPECTACULARLY

The million-bullshit march is dispersed or the terrorists arrested, or, preferably, shot.
