Actually, I don’t want to live in DC anymore. We are planning to move to VA late this year or early next and that’s wrapped up in some of tax planning questions we have prepared.

Edited to add: I’ve owned and lived here eight years, it’s a fine place to live, just not for me anymore.

Oh you're totally fine. 4 hours is a leisurely amount of time to get from DCA to IAD. International arrivals at IAD is super fast if you have global entry; if not, you might have to wait in a very long line but you will definitely be fine if you have a 5 hour layover. Even if you're the last to deplane and you wait in a long line, you'll probably clear passport control within two hours of when your plane touches down and have 3 hours to get from IAD to DCA.

A lot of (justified) sarcastic responses. I’ll try to give a productive answer: do you have a political issue you’re interested in, particularly a hot-button issue that’s in the news a lot? Find the organization on your side of that issue. They will host a protest/rally at some point.

You could just be the guy that has a “LOUD NOISES” poster at the protest, or, to put this in meme language, Rob Lowe in the NFL hat.

Then wait for the next big one, Women’s March, will have one in the spring, March for Our Lives will probably throw one too.

If you’re talking smaller actions, you need to find yourself a cause. Because those actions are for real ones, not tourists.
