The inauguration was already a very small, private and invite only event while most of the events will be done remotely via streaming. There will be a large police presence to stop anyone who isn't invited.

Personally I believe that the swearing in ceremony should be indoors - I fear for his amd Harris’s safety and an outdoor venue and giving the opportunity for security clashes and riots in open areas is too dangerous

Joe & Kamala can be sworn in via Joe's living room in Wilmington, DE for my piece of mind.
Virtually.

I think the protection for the inauguration would have been a lot heavier than inaugurations usually are.

I think Biden's and Harris's protection will be going up anyway despite where or when they are someplace.

Cops only work for Trump and his worshipers. To serve and protect Trump and his cult.
