This curfew might be a really bad idea. Where do they expect all these Trumpers to go?

Virtually all of them are far from home and no doubt cold and getting colder. The temperature is now 41° and forecast to drop to 33° overnight. If they're chased away then they won't just disappear, they might disperse in all directions and start breaking into homes and businesses. I suspect it's going to be a very long night in Washington DC.

Don't get the false impression that I feel sorry for these people, I'm concerned about the residents and business owners of DC. A large portion of those people are black and these Trumpers are characteristically racist.

If they violate curfew, arrest them. Put them in busses and stash them at the Washington football stadium, whatever it is called.

If they can't afford the overprices rooms they can just crash in the lobby.

Although, I'd prefer the whole goddamn lot of them wind up crammed into local prison cells.

And, they can all go fuck themselves.
