Expect that liberals will try to prevent you from making it to DC. Expect they will try to get your lodging cancelled. Expect they will try to separate you. Expect they will try to bait you into conflict.
Form several plans. Form them with trusted pedes. Do it on here. Do it over a video chat. Expect your lodging will be compromised. Expect your travel will be interrupted. Have back up plans in case they are. Do not stay in the city. Find the means to travel a few cities away.
DC will be a hot zone. There may not be a single shot fired, but you will still be targeted. The cameras will be on you at all times, until you're isolated and the enemy decides to take you out.
Treat this like an actual conflict because it is, and start planning. Murphy will FUCK every plan you make, so know what your fallbacks are. And do it with trusted people. These people are your lifeline.

Plan B is always plan A harder.
