Nothing brings out the true colors of the Democrats than an authentic Progressive.

It's easy for him to take DC, nobody is watching out for it. It will be much more difficult to take a major city, with a strongly resistant governor.

unnecessary, just-for-show takeover
It's not "just-for-show." In the case of a Civil War, they can now wall off DC, creating a fortress with an oceanfront escape route, and the White House in the center.

Taking full control of DC was just the first step.
