Florida here.......planning on going. We are driving. Are you? If so, when are you planning on leaving and how are you planning on going into DC? Drive, metro, uber, etc?

[teeman8r]

I am going, and will record what I can

[KevinB]

Even if it accomplishes nothing, it will show Trump that we love and support him. He deserves that. Who knows, if we can get enough people there it might even make the news. I’m going and bringing some neighbors and friends with me.

Advent is still a penitiential season, although you’re right about the de-emphasis since V2. They kept violet vestments and advent candles, I guess that’s about it?!

[Blue Turtle]

Thank you freepers for your insightful answers. Some were a bit harsh and hurt my feelings but I appreciate your passion and strong defense of our President. I will now be attending to defend my vote and our President. Thank you.

It would probably be a good idea for The President to announce that he will make a speech from the Lincoln Memorial at a time certain on the 6th. (And also to make sure that the Mall is well outfitted with port-a-potties!)

“Honest question: what is this going to accomplish?”
...
If it were me there’s gotta be more gun friendly places to hold such a nationwide rally.

I for one will not go into d.c. period.

dress warm, and bring your own food and water.

[TruthBringsFreedom]

Totally agree with you. I’m driving in to Freedom Plaza in DC from a conservative part of the Bay Area (Los Gatos, CA). Will be flying a large American flag all 2,927 miles on a southerly route. President Trump deserves our total support, and he has mine and that of all members of our family.

[Guenevere]

The train in Sanford, Fla gets to within 20 miles to DC in 17 hours.

Don't take it personally. Things could always get heated here even before the communist coup and takeover of the USA. Now things are even more...interesting.

[fr_freak]

I’m going. Driving in from the west coast. For those wondering what the 6th will be all about, I couldn’t say for sure, but I do know that the 6th is when the electors get certified. Pence is the man in that regard, and Trump has requested we be there. So, I expect something interesting to happen. This won’t be just a rally.

Honest question: what is this going to accomplish?

Not an honest question at all. When President Trump invokes the Insurrection Act and convenes a Military Tribunal in Gitmo or in Nimitz 100 nautical miles east of Norfolk, are you going to soil yourself and clutch your pearl necklace? Is your first name Neville or perhaps Benedict? Is the gutless Louisville Gobbler or No Nads Thune from SoDak a relative? Have you no clue as to what is at stake here? ESAD, troll.

[Nachoman]

If the people attending the rally were brandishing firearms, that would send a powerful message. The DS would realize that there isn’t enough security to protect them from the militia.

I don’t know if we’re at that point yet, but I fear the time is coming soon.

Same here. I am a gal in my 60s and strongly wanted to attend - even bought a ticket last week - to fly from Boston Logan to Reagan National on morning of the 6th.

I cancelled my flight today. Reason: getting from airport to National mall, and then back in the evening, will be tricky...

I've read things over at TheDonald.Win about expected violence. TDW folks over there are preparing for trouble - they discuss planning to bring helmets, goggles, protective equipment. They say YES, of course - that we need a big turn out -- but only able bodied MEN should be there, with BLM and Antifa around and Zero expectation of DC Police help

It will be fine during the day, but - Congress could go late into the night with speeches and so forth - not decide the electoral votes at 1 pm promptly as they've scheduled that day.

It will get dark very quick by 4:30 pm in DC. I can't foresee myself going back towards the Metro subway, at 6 pm, when it's dark, and running into Antifa idiots.

Not trying to be alarmist, but there are only a few ways out of DC, such as bridges, which could be occupied, meaning cars/Uber will have trouble leaving for airports, and taking the metro as I'd planned seems entirely dangerous.

Be safe everybody - don't move about alone, stay with a group of people you know and trust.

Here's some of the TDW chatter --

It will be fine during the day, but ...

My wife said I could go as long as I'm safely out by dark, which is the plan.

I think that hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of angry voters surrounding the capitol buildings as far as the eye can see, will throw the fear of God into these cowardly congress critters. Let the mood be ugly, let all of those who have worn the uniform, put it on, and stand in the front lines.

Actually, it was an honest question and you are the troll. Oh, and if you had bothered to read the whole thread, you would have seen that after considering the replies the poster decided to attend. Maybe you should consider posting while sober some time.

[erkelly]

I can’t go either, but I am going to spend the day in prayer and fasting. That is something we who must stay at home can do. By the way, I think your husband is right, it could get dangerous, and you and I might well be of more use staying where we are and praying for our country.

So, I expect something interesting to happen. This won’t be just a rally.

Count on it.

Trump just tweeted in the past hour requesting his supporters in DC on Jan 6 (with more information to follow).

He's not asking us to stand outside in the cold for hours just so we can watch electoral votes go to Biden on the Jumbotron. Something is up and he wants us there for it.
