Protesters spend a lot less money when they come to DC than tourists, are you going to tell me that DC tourists are all "the elite"

The big controversy in 2009 - you couldn't miss it if you lived in the DC area - was the "Purple Section" of the Obama inauguration

I.e. non-VIP tickets (color-coded purple) who overflowed that reserved section so much many of them were still in line when Obama spoke

Anyway in general this argument is crap. There are big events in DC ALL THE TIME. People come to DC for all kinds of dumb shit ALL THE TIME

You get bigger crowds than the Trump inauguration for the National Barbecue Battle, is that also the "coastal elite"

In fact if you can't imagine going someplace without shelling out for your own hotel room downtown you're pretty clearly the bubbled one
