Maybe the reason it seems so ridiculous that there's thousands of troops in DC right now to protect the inauguration is because that's not why they're there.
What if they're there to protect DC from the angry mobs after they start banning guns, packing court, making new states and who knows what else they have planned??
This makes more sense than a secret plan of paratroopers dropping in on the inauguration and arresting every democrat in congress because an 8ch riddle troll said to trust the plan
