Disclosure: I live inside the DC beltway.  I am also a conservative. And I have lived in DC in the past.

With that said, Washington is indeed a SWAMP in my opinion. I am speaking about it’s voting residents here, and the local government they elect.

Seriously. It voted 92% for Hitlery.

One of its city council members believes the Rothschild family controls the weather and runs a global Jewish conspiracy behind every government. Several past council members are in prison or have been jailed for various crimes (often public corruption).  All are democrats.

Washington’s largest paper: the Washington com-Post, has gone full-tilt leftist SJW since the election of President Trump.

The city leadership remains as anti-2nd Amendment as they can possibly get away with.

It is sad, really.

But please keep this in mind when you visit.  You really are behind enemy lines in DC.

A single fired shell in your vehicle will get you arrested.

"God d*mn b*tch set me up." was his memorable line upon being caught.
