The capitol doesn’t look like this is a peaceful transition of power. It looks like a military junta enduring their figurehead isn’t opposed by political dissidents.
None of these extreme measures are necessary and bogus media concern is nauseatingly hypocritical.
Four years ago, #BigMediaHateMachine praised and promoted a mob burning cars, attacking cops and threatening Trump's life.
Media fueled them with a fake collusion conspiracy.

Ironically, the core of the collusion conspiracy was the allegation that Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin — together somehow — had stolen the election from Hillary Clinton, something they knew was a flat out fabrication.
Its intended effect was violence, destruction and disunity.

Point being, the concern is fabricated along with their outrage and conspiracies. They're locking down capitols because they don't want you near them anymore. They don't want you participating, nor bothering them in their important work of stuffing each others' pockets.
This is a textbook desperate power grab by a ruling class that fears its own perpetuity. These are the actions of a political class in a third world country who have recognized they're utter failures at meeting the needs and concerns of their people, so they close themselves off.
Bottom line: These are not the actions of a confident, stable government. They are the actions of a government in the middle of a crisis of credibility.
