We never turn DC into an armed camp for this, because we always have peaceful transitions of power. Until this year. This year, we look like you might expect Belarus to look if their strongman had been voted out and was refusing to leave. Or any number of other countries that were once non-comparable to us, before Trump devolved the country to their levels.

The Secretary of the Army raised alarms, because NG commanders don’t know their troops as well as regular military commanders know theirs, and because there are so many boots on the ground - nothing in our modern history really compares to it.

So, no, this is fear from responsible parties reacting to an unprecedented threat that we’ve not grappled with before. You are simply participating in the propaganda effort of Trumpistan as it struggles to survive.
