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.
