Since Jan 6, I've been there three times, and it looked dead to me compared to my numerous pre-Covid visits, but it could have been just my timing. I will of course defer to you since you live there. The larger question being, would jamming up the streets of DC bring enough media attention to warrant the risk of political arrest Jan 6 style, or should they stick to the beltway?
I live in Chicago and although traffic is back, the restaurant and entertainment districts are a shadow of their former self. If trucks clogged up the Loop, for example, not many would care (outside the police) because people still work remote, and many do so outside the state. They would get more media attention blocking the routes to O'Hare Airport, for example.
