I'm not trying to tone down your enthusiasm whatsoever. Stay high energy, stay happy and enjoy the birth of freedom....
However take it for what you will. I've been in cybersec for many years and even though I don't fight with bullets on the battlefield I'm very acquainted with tactics, defense and offense.
Don't think for a second that you aren't a target in DC. Don't take anything for granted and don't let your guard down.
Trust no group.... even if that group is wearing MAGA gear. There will be many wolves in sheeps clothing. There is strength in numbers. Don't get trashed or drunk... keep your wits about you.
I guarantee you the TPTB want to make an example of you or use you for fake news fodder.
STAY VIGILANT.
