My 2 cents on the topic.

First, I expect pink pussy hat protests and other kinds of more violent protests at various phases of the transition of power to the Trump and Republican control of WA DC.

I expect protests when the new Majority leader of the Senate is selected.

I expect protests when Control of the House is determined.

I expect protests when the Electoral College meets and declares the next President.

I expect protests when Trump is inaugurated.

I expect protests when Trump issues his Executive Orders on Day 1

I expect protests when key cabinet appointments are reviewed by the Senate for Confirmation.

I expect protests when Trump pardons Jan 6 protesters.

I expect protests in front of the White House for the first 100 day.

I expect protests in front of the Supreme Court just about anytime they render a decision.

Now the good news. I expect that the Secret Service will move Heaven and Earth to protect Trump after 2 assassination attempts and the knowledge that there are 5 foreign national sponsored assassination teams operating within the US. Home Land Security has already declared the day that the Electoral College meets to be a national day of special security needs. I further expect that the National Guard or even the US Military will be out in force for all those days of protest to make sure, order is maintained. It would not surprise me if Martial Law is not declared for WA DC for the months of January and February.

Now the bad news. The corrupt Biden Administration will be in charge of Capitol security prior to Trump taking office. However, after the two failed assassination attempts on Trump, I fully expect lower level Administration staff will fight for good security and go whistle blower if corrupt Biden officials try to water things down.

OK

But why does Trump need to move to the West front of the Capitol for the inauguration? Just do the whole thing in the White House and stream it via Truth Social or X. It’s not like Trump hasn’t done the walk down Pennsylvania Avenue before.

As for the rioters, require parade permits for specified routes and strictly enforced durations. Line the parade routes with National Guard. If anyone violates the terms of the parade permit, arrest and prosecute them.

Nonviolent protests would be OK. What happened during Trump’s first inauguration was not protest. It was violence. I expect it to be even worse this time. The mayor of DC will not help the situation. After all, who should help Hitler? /s The left excuses the evil that they do and the evil that they allow by such delusional thinking.
