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??
All we can do is stand by and wait... If they really intend on pushing this bullshit thru perhaps our secondary option would be a tax revolt. We're not out of options yet. Just stand back and stand by.
