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??
Ummm what you speak about affects the very troops you speak about. I'm pretty certain they're none too happy with this rigged election after they found out their vote was destroyed also. Especially after they found out they're brothers Still In Harm's Way overseas actually had their ballots destroyed. No the military does not side with Joe Biden
