You know what every fascist dictator does before fully consolidating power after a coup? Militarizes the nation’s capital.
Shout out to @jolly_good_ginger and all the honored veterans holding the line at Union Station.
And to the Guard deployed: remember your oath is to the Constitution, not to one man.

Unfortunately you're wrong. The National Guard's oath of enlistment contains a commitment to defend the constitution and to obey the orders of the President.
Adhering to the oath without taking into account one's personal leanings presents quite the conundrum nowadays: What are you supposed to do when the President IS the enemy domestic?
