Who is watching the live patriot rally in DC today?

Some observations:
1) There is a lot of prayer, a lot of mentions of God, many references to the need for our country to repent, turn away from evil, embrace the truth, and our responsibilities as Americans. They talk about the shame and stain on our nation that is abortion, the shame that patriots let it happen. The shame of our corrupt politicians and that we let it happen.
This is unlike any rally I've seen outside of a tent revival. This is not about Trump. It is about God, our founding fathers, and the principle of freedom. No Democrat ever mentions such lofty goals. The subjects they discuss in their rallies are weak tea compared to this.
2) Frequent references to "Freedom or death." This is an extremely strong theme across dozens of speakers. "Do you love your country? Will you do what it takes to preserve your country? Will you die for your country? That's good, because before this is over, you might have to."
This is not an average rally. They are prepping the audience for something serious.
3) The rally hasn't stopped. It snowed. It rained. They kept talking. The city turned off their lights, they kept going. They shut off power to their speakers, they shouted louder. It is pitch black, bad weather, no power, no light, and hundreds of thousands of people are still there. This is no fair weather crowd. These people are angry. They are determined.
4) One speaker said something like, "And what will we do if we don't get what we want tomorrow? We won't leave. We will stay right here in DC and gridlock the whole city." This won't be a few dozen hippies pooping on the sidewalk outside Wall Street, but hundreds of thousands of people who happen to be right in the middle of DC.
5) From a military perspective, I wonder if by tomorrow, Trump will have managed to completely surround himself with supporters, who coincidentally completely surround Congress, the Senate, Supreme Court, and the White House. If the demonstrators won't leave, would that leave all three branches of government trapped in the middle, forced to deal with the issue, with no help available?
