We did leave town last inauguration and might consider doing that again, depending on how things are looking with covid, weather, politics, etc. We live less than a mile from the Mall.
Exactly! I don’t worry about guns in The District because there are strict laws
Except there are a bunch of guns and 2A assholes right over the river.
And you think they are going to come into DC to go on a spree of violence when Trump wins?
That’s precious!
When *Biden* wins....
Yes, when *Biden* wins...a bed at the local memory care facility

Trump 2020.
The only people doing any rioting were gangs of white supremacists and militia members lurking amidst the crowds of peaceful BLM protesters. They caused all the violence with the intent of it being pinned on peaceful protests. And the corporate mass media helped to perpetuate this lie.
You are hallucinating. There's probably a lot of people on this board who were happy to send their college students out every night with cans of spray paint and bricks. The funny thing is, I am betting that there are probably about 500 white supremacists in the whole country, but people like you keep building them up.
Except I’ve actually witnessed it with my own eyes, several times at protests here in DC.
I have SEEN white people, both men and women, starting fires, smashing windows, throwing objects at police, looting, destroying. Who are these white people? Why do you think they’re doing this?
They’re white supremacists and militia members. Infiltrating the crowd at peaceful BLM demonstrations and wreaking havoc. They are doing this so the protesters will be seen as a rioting violent mob. That’s the only possible reason. There is zero doubt about this.
I have seen it with my own eyes.
Some of them may also be anarchists trying to push their own agenda. I also don't take them as a reflection on BLM/the left.

This is why OP isn’t crazy. If Trump wins, can you imagine what “protesters” will do!

I'm not leaving because, depending on how things go, I'll be taking to the streets myself.

I'm surprised by the replies but I'll take them!
The consensus on our block/in our neighborhood is that people are mildly concerned. I know a bunch of folks with plans to leave town and others are discussing it.
I was wondering what the broader group-think is. Glad to know that we are overreacting.
You are over reacting and making stuff up too - I have not heard a single person bring this up and I've had lots of conversations with people about the upcoming election - do you think tanks and rioters are going to roll into DC late on election night?
I think if Trump wins there will be massive rioting. Then the militias and other misc wackos will roll in. DC could start to look like Syria pretty fast. Everyone I know is leaving. Bunch of clueless posters on here . . .
I think if Trump LOSES there will be massive rioting. Then the militias and other misc wackos will roll in. And many, if not most of them, will be armed. They will also have at least some of the police on their side. Trump, I expect, will be enjoying the chaos in his own inimitably narcissistic way.
No one I know is leaving. The only people I know who are even talking about it seriously are the newcomers who have come to the area over the last decade and a half or so, and most of them weren’t planning on staying here indefinitely anyway.

Leave town? Are you kidding me?
When Obama was elected in 2008 it was one of the most fun nights of my time in DC. I can't wait for the party that will erupt when Biden wins the election!

Trump is telling white nationalist militias to stand by but is also telling his people mail-in voting is horrible and evil. If they love Trump that much I assume they plan to vote and will not be coming to DC on Election Day.
