If a picture is worth a thousand words, the images circulating on social media of members of the National Guard in the halls of the Capitol are worth a thousand fears. After a seditious mob of Donald Trump supporters—counting QAnon followers, election-fraud truthers, neo-Nazis, and white supremacists in its ranks—descended on Washington last week, breaching police barriers and desecrating symbols of American democracy, counterterrorism professionals warn that the threat of violence in the days leading up to and during Joe Biden’s inauguration has hardly dissipated. Rather, sources I spoke with fear that it may be higher than ever. “They simply can’t treat this as a normal inauguration,” a former senior counterterrorism official told me. “The threat environment we are in remains highly volatile, and I think the concern of law enforcement professionals is that we’re going to see more violence in not only the days ahead, but the weeks and months ahead.”
