Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Five years ago, I vowed to attend the 2021 presidential inauguration no matter who won.

A ticket to the January 20, 2021 inauguration of U.S. President Joe Biden. In July 2020, I requested two tickets through my congresswoman’s office to the 2021 presidential inauguration with the intention of going no matter the outcome of the presidential election. These tickets would have admitted me and a guest to the West Front of the United States Capitol on that day.

I got tickets. But the Capitol riot, Covid protocols, and national security fears reduced the audience on the Capitol’s west front down to a joint session of Congress. Biden spoke to an empty mall of flags and thousands of National Guardsmen. Little fanfare... no salute battery. There was a necessary stillness to the moment.

January 20th was a blip in the madness of this past year but I’m grateful that the decorum of a peaceful transition was upheld. Eyes fixed on 2025.
