(TheIndependentStar.com) – Echoing actions taken during the chaotic 2020 elections, businesses in Washington, D.C., are boarding up windows and doors to prepare for potential turmoil on election night.
With tensions rising and both parties vying for control, the city braces for potential unrest on election night.
Meanwhile, early voting data and polls suggest a surge in Republican momentum, leaving liberal elites in a panic.
Freelance photographer Andrew Leyden captured scenes reminiscent of a city under siege, with storefronts near the White House, including the Post Office and a McDonald’s, fortifying their properties.
In the key swing state of North Carolina, early voting data revealed a surge in Republican and independent turnout, outpacing Democrats in ballots cast.
This trend is similar in other battleground states, signaling a potential red wave that has the liberal establishment trembling.
President Donald Trump has been capitalizing on the momentum as he arrived at a Wisconsin rally in a garbage truck.
This was a direct response to Biden’s inflammatory remarks referring to Trump supporters as “garbage.”
“This truck is in honor of Kamala and Joe Biden,” Trump said, stating earlier that “250 million people are not garbage.”
Moreover, the Suffolk/USA Today survey showed the GOP leader with a slight edge in Michigan, another crucial swing state.
As the General Election is approaching, the fact that businesses in the capital need to prepare for potential unrest raises questions about the current state of American politics and society.
The echoes of 2020’s riots still ring loudly, leaving the American people wondering whether unity and peace are even possible.
Washington, D.C. is preparing for post-election protests regardless of who wins on Tuesday by boarding up businesses near the White House, deploying more officers, and urging residents to say something if they see something. https://t.co/X6daFveWvD
