Here, we explore a personal account of Washington, DC, on the days leading up to the inauguration of the 47th president of the United States and the socio-political conflicts observed at the nation’s capital. Autoethnographies strive to deconstruct one’s environment and interpret it through the lens of the human experience, both as it applies to the subjects and the author. This requires, in part, the honest demonstration of personal dispositions, which may be apparent in the text but are nonetheless an essential aspect of the personal ethnographic exercise.

Day One: Hitting DC
An invitation arrived from our local state representative, inviting my wife and me to DC for the inauguration of the 47th president of the United States. We had our reservations about going, considering the many novel (and familiar) ethical, moral, and policy considerations facing us. The 2024 GOP presidential campaign centered on many familiar themes, such as nationalism and populism, border security, domestic security, and the economy, resonating with many Americans as fears of Anglican erasure and ‘woke’ cultural trends have stirred anxieties among traditionalists and moderates alike. An unfortunate byproduct of these political divisions has been felt in the consistent alienation and misrepresentation of many Americans. (Piazza, J. and Van Doren, N. 2023) (Rusowicz, A. et al. 2024) (Henninger, C., 2024) (Rabab’ah, G. et al. 2024) This sentiment is, of course, not without warrant; A cis female Olympian was accused of being transexual and subsequently framed as a ‘threat’ to women (Brangham, William, et al. 2024) (Janetsky, Megan 2024), lies about legal Haitian immigrants were knowingly spread framing them as eating pets, (Thomas, Merlyn and Mike Wendling 2024) (Russell, J.G., 2024), undocumented immigrants characterized as murderers and rapists, (Nacos, B.L. et al. 2024) (Jussim, L. et al. 2024) trans-Americans were portrayed as cultural threats and pedophiles, (Quinan, C. 2025) (Wolf, Brandon 2024) and the term “Palestinian” was used as an insult, weaponizing the identity itself of the people in Gaza, (Singh, Kanishka 2024) (Aljazeera 2024) and so on. Ultimately, we decided to treat this invitation as an opportunity to promote causes we hold dear. As a civil servant and my wife as a medical student, many of the proposed policy changes would directly impact us, both professionally and personally, and perhaps out of a mixture of concern and obligation, we left for DC on the night of January 17.
The morning of January 18 was, as one would expect, sightseeing and taking in history. As someone who grew up in poverty, trips like these still hold a great deal of weight. We visited the National Mall, the Lincoln Memorial, the White House, and the top of the Washington Monument. Our favorite monument was the memorial for my favorite president, Franklin D. Roosevelt, which featured reflections on the plight of Americans struggling against economic inequality. (Nielsen, K.E. 2013) As the day went on though, we began noticing more and more people wearing the trademark “MAGA” (Make America Great Again) hats that have become synonymous with the current president as his political slogan and call to arms, if you will. (Coussens, A. 2023) (Bittner, V.K. 2024) (Potts, L. 2017) This slogan has a history of controversy, as critics describe it as a tool for erasure, framing US history as “great,” which is argued to obfuscate (or at worst, celebrate) the history of Jim Crow, women’s Suffrage, religious suppression, Indigenous genocide, and slavery, just to name a few. (Agosto, V. et al. 2023) (Huber, L.P., 2016) (Hughey, M.W. and Rosino, M.L. 2022)
Yet to our fellow Americans we found ourselves accompanied by predominantly white middle-aged working-class, this slogan represents a folk history shared not only among far-right circles but also the historical narrative taught to all people of better times, classic Americana that sweeps over the blemishes that nostalgia tends to rewrite. MAGA is also a deeply personal reflection of patriotism and evangelical pride. (Knorre, B. and Koellner, T. 2022) (Smith, S.B. 2019) As political partisanship has widened in the US, politics have become increasingly tied to identity and is especially evident as “MAGA” has become a source of individual pride, a way to ‘resist’ liberalism and perceived corruption from the political establishment, and to many Evangelicals, a religious mandate. For the purposes of this paper, I will refer to those wearing MAGA-related memorabilia as “Patriots,” a moniker adopted and weaponized by many Americans who identify with the far-right movement in the US (Kleinig, J. 2021) (Aho, J. 2015) (Alcock, E. 2023) Though by no means do I condone the use of this term to ‘otherize’ others, predominately moderate and liberal-leaning Americans, or exclude said groups from being “patriotic.” The label is used here only to place a self-assigned moniker in the personalities described within.
The atmosphere was one of comradery and vindication as Patriots shared stories of their providence and plans, excitement, and expectations for the coming administration. A sense of retribution was evident, as though the loss of the 2020 election, as understood by many on the far-right as having been stolen, had been corrected. Shirts displaying the 47th president’s “Too big to rig” messaging amplified these same sentiments, echoing the consistent election denialism his campaign purported. This air of excitement struck my wife and I as contritious, knowing that the coming policies would likely impact not only us, as a civil servant and future medical professional, but the very people eagerly awaiting the policy shifts. White Americans are the largest recipients of SNAP benefits (SNAP-Ed 2025); rural communities have some of the highest rates of healthcare and food insecurity (DeWitt, E. et al. 2020) (Douthit, N. et al. 2015); farmers are at substantial risk of anthropogenic climate change, (Mase, A.S. et al. 2017) (Burke, M. and Emerick, K. 2016) and white evangelicals are especially susceptible to disinformation. (Burkholder, J.S. 2024) The policies outlined by the coming administration would exasperate all of these issues and more, though it is important to remember that these issues are viewed through an entirely different lens than the academic world and policy experts appreciate. Often, these issues, if acknowledged at all, are downplayed drastically, and even then, the trade-offs many in far-right circles perceive in terms of cultural and institutional changes promised appear more than recompense for any potential downsides.
As the crowds grew, we prepared to leave the National Mall, suddenly crossing paths with The People’s March, an event organized by multiple activist organizations to protest the inauguration. (People’s March, 2025) With a little encouragement from my wife, we joined the march. Quite the change in scenery, now lost in a steady torrent of chants and signs streaming down the National Mall. The change in demographic and demeanor was immediately apparent, excitement replaced by anxiety, contentment replaced by contemptment. White middle-aged evangelicals are now obscured, replaced by people of all races, all beliefs, all ages, and all backgrounds, promoting their individual struggles but also a shared struggle. A single group of white men stood in opposition, proclaiming religious absolutes at the protestors, a sign held proudly, “Homo sex is sin.” Quite the sight.
That evening, we visited the Capitol Building, where the Patriots had gathered. We passed a group of professionally dressed young black men and women led by a black woman. It was likely a youth, education, or church program, I presumed. As we passed, we overheard the woman coach her proteges, “I know what you want to say. I know what you’re gonna hear, but you have to stay calm.” She inadvertently coached me as well, the steps of the Capitol occupied by Patriots, cladded in shirts and hats proclaiming various political slogans, most benign, championing the president-elect; Yet others derisive, mocking, “liberal tears” and a common far-right catchphrase referring to several left-wing women as “bitch.” (Caputi, J. 2024) (Erichsen, K. et al. 2020) A microcosm of the sentiment which had, in part, returned the 47th president back to office. I recalled the words of the woman near the Capitol entrance.
Day Two: “Steering Our Ship”
The morning of the 19th, we woke with renewed motivation. Inspired by the plethora of beautiful churches admired the day prior, we decided to visit the local DC “All Souls” Unitarian Universalist (UU) fellowship. In the setting of a beautiful building founded by John Adams, a Unitarian himself (not to be confused with modern UU), like many of the founding fathers who tended towards Christian Deism. (Viney, D.W. 2010) We were inspired and reminded of our own Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Jonesboro, Arkansas, A community that has shown us so much love and support and promotes engagement with many of the same issues discussed here with a critical eye and thoughtful heart. A true home away from home. Many in the congregation were seeking comfort as the inauguration approached, UU being a predominantly left-leaning organization with a focus on inclusivity and social justice. (McKanan, D. 2013) (Walsh, M. 2020) Comfort was offered in the form of the poem, “The Storm Don’t Steer the Ship,” a message about not letting the chaos around you drive where you end up. It can feel at times that we are in the middle of a storm, a ship at the mercy of the sea, but we often have more control in our direction than we think. The reverend spoke about how these next four years were likely not to see any major social changes, but equally as important, we must hunker down and do everything in our power to care for others.
After service, we made our way to the Smithsonian, zig-zagging between barricades that had turned DC into a labyrinth. We happened upon a line of Patriots that had consumed a city block, stretching what seemed to be an impossible length; An impressive feat of dedication. This line extended over a mile, spawning multiple blocks and countless hours, all for the “Make American Great Again Victory Rally,” where the 47th president was featured. (Lowery, Kairi 2025) (Wainman, Laura, et al. 2025) A physical reflection of the respect and reverence felt by many Patriots, willing to spend so much of their time to stand audience to a man who has left such an impact on their lives and identity. Any time a motorcade passed by, the line of Patriots would erupt in cheers, celebrating the anonymous passengers whom they granted identity. What cognitive factors were at play, I hadn’t exhumed. As we continued our way to the museum, we noticed a conflict of another sort: Countless fliers posted on walls and light poles, advertising clashing cultures. “Fascists Stay Home, Keep America Great, Keep DC Bigot Free, Still Your President.” Competing for space, obscuring one another, circumstantially and strategically, torn down and defaced. The cultural animus that has come to define US politics is on full display, literally.
That evening, we received a communication from our representative that the 47th president had canceled the outdoor inauguration due to inclement weather. The indoor event was now limited to politicians and select billionaires due to limited seating. (Sullivan, Kate, et al. 2025) (Gaffen, David 2025) They offered an alternative event for the inauguration that was essentially a glorified rally, which we had no interest in attending. We then recalled one of the many fliers we saw hours prior, which advertised a protest to be held concurrent with the Inauguration. We may have been in the middle of a storm, but we were now steering our ship.
Day Three: “We Fight Back”
We woke the morning of the inauguration to a cacophony of excitement. Patriots had gathered in the hotel’s dining area, eyes glued on a Fox News broadcast celebrating the inauguration. Fox News, of course, has been widely criticized for its right-wing bias and precarious journalistic integrity as one of the largest proponents of misinformation, conspiratorial thought, and far-right propaganda in the US. Yet it remains one of the most trusted sources of news by conservatives at large, outperforming its moderate and left-leaning counterparts such as CNN and MSNBC by far, speaking to their cultural grievances and perceived threats from the political left. (Martin, J. 2012) (Bauer, A.J., et al. 2022) (Hollander, B.A. 2018) The room was abuzz, erupting in cheers at any mention of the 47th president or notable allies, almost ceremonially affirming their support, reaffirming their shared identities, likely a sabbatical from the judgment many Patriots regularly feel for their traditionalist beliefs. The atmosphere was antithetical to that of the hotel staffers, who were near-unanimously Hispanic and Black women. Strain and discomfort were professionally veiled as the broadcast derailed and ridiculed liberals, immigrants, and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI), to the patrons’ glee. Perhaps my interpretation of their muted expressions and down-turned eyes is a product of projection on my part or perhaps the result of an unusually busy morning. We felt a palpable tension as servers brought customers their drinks, only to quickly retreat from the crowd and stand idly together behind the service desk. Whichever cause, there undoubtedly was a drastic difference in demeanor from the mornings prior.
My wife and I braved the 10-degree weather as we left the hotel. Our first stop is the Black Veterans Memorial. We used this opportunity to remind ourselves of a reason we personally had to celebrate Martin Luther King Jr’s Birthday and his struggle for racial equity. The memorial’s plaque was covered in ice, so we cleared it off, not just for ourselves but so anyone passing can be reminded of what’s at stake when you don’t fight for your rights, just as these veterans did for an apartheid America that didn’t see them as equals, yet they still fought for what they saw as a brighter future ahead. (Oh, R. 1995) (Robinson, R.L. 2000) After a strenuous hike through downtown DC, we arrived at Malcolm X Park, a fitting venue for the holiday and event, the We Fight Back rally (We Fight Back 2025). Just like at the People’s March, we were greeted by a microcosm of America, all ages, all races, and all backgrounds united for a shared cause: Helping their fellow man and pushing back against authoritarianism. Speakers included leaders from various social justice organizations, and a theme of systematic and institutional oppression was strung between them all. I was approached by a reporter from Reuters who asked a simple question, “Why did you come out here today?” I reflected on where I was ‘intended’ to be that day, at the stadium where Patriots from all over America had made pilgrimage. I reflected on our visit to UU the day prior and our participation in the march the day before that. I realized we hadn’t really done anything we were ‘intended’ to do while in DC, and why was that?
I answered the journalist, “I wanted to be with people who share in the suffering of others rather than those who celebrate suffering.” This is something I have kept paramount in my mind since that day, and I reflect on it often. We talked more about politics and anti-intellectualism, one of the many tools used to radicalize people (Motta, M. 2018) (Peters, M.A. 2019) (Lunz Trujillo, K. 2022), and the news of the 46th President’s eleventh-hour series of pardons. Yet beyond the politics, what it all boiled down to was our need to acknowledge suffering and suffer with our fellow man. As the saying goes, an injustice for one of us is an injustice for all of us.
I recalled the sermon from the day before and how the Storm had swept us to DC, but we had steered our ship to do good where good could be done. We had no intentions of activism when we left Jonesboro, but the best experiences we shared were in standing for something, fighting back, and sailing beside others with heavy burdens in their hulls.
Epilogue: DC Hits Homes
As a civil servant, the policies following the 47th president’s inauguration have impacted me both professionally and personally. Months of work done by my office to hire staff has been undone; Firm Job Offers issued to dozens of people had to be rescinded under direct order. Many of these people had already moved their families cross country, selling their homes, all for a job that was guaranteed to them and yet ripped from under them. Probationary employees have also been laid off en masse, for no fault of their own, with no warning or grace; Colleagues walked out of buildings with tears in their eyes as they were thrust into unemployment. (Altchek, Ana 2025) (Wire, Sarah 2025) Although a federal judge has ruled that probationary terminations must be undone, how much damage has already been done? How secure do those employees feel, and how does this impact their work? (Gardner, Timothy, et al. 2025) In preparation for returning to the office, I took a trip to update my ID. While doing so, my wife and I stopped by a restaurant, our waiter a recently terminated civil servant who worked in IT, let go without warning. We shared our mutual condolences, perhaps a premonition of my own future.
Directives from the administration came shortly after, banning the celebration or acknowledgment of certain holidays and events, including Black History Month, International Women’s Day, Gay Pride Month, and most bizarrely, we can no longer acknowledge Holocaust Remembrance Day…. This, of course, was coupled with the dismantlement of our DEI offices and programs, which promote merit-based hiring practices that have historically excluded many qualified women and minorities from positions. (Coney, T.W. 2025) (Nwoga, A.P. 2024) DEI initiatives assisted in prioritizing qualified veterans as well, yet the myth of unqualified people only being hired to meet racial or gender quotas persists. (Mullin, C., et al. 2024) Though the future may look uncertain, I end this with the poem shared at the UU service in DC, which feels more pertinent than ever now:
The storm don’t steer the ship.
Storm may push it, toss it, rock it, roll it, crack it, even sink it,
But it takes a knowing mind and guiding sense to steer a ship toward safety.
It takes memory of the harbor haven to guide a body soaked with fear, pushing against the wind,
It takes faith to hold out,
For the storm to run out of rain.
Every Storm Runs Out Of Rain – Atena O. Danner
