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??
Maybe the military is there to make a lot of arrests for treason! We all know Congress was complicit in the steal, So are the Supreme Court justices!
