FYI, city centre is not the term anyone in DC uses (although most will probably understand what you mean). Downtown is really the best word for the general area. More specifically people typically say the neighborhood, so for you telling people you're staying in Penn Quarter.

Does anyone know if the Blossom train is going to be on any other lines besides the Red? Whenever I've checked the tracker that's where it is.

You could hit all the ones on the national Mall in a week, but unless you're gonna blow through them it would probably take up all of your time every day. They're free so it's not like you're losing anything by leaving after an hour if you don't like it. If you want to see all of them you could prioritize what exhibits are unique/semi unique to the Smithsonian. Like the Natural History museum is very cool with a bunch of great fossils, but a lot of it is also not that different from any other natural history museum you've been too.

The anger will be about the fact that it keeps on happening, also the video is supposed to be pretty horrific and given the timing of the release people arent gonna be able to process it before protesting and they're gonna react with a lot of raw emotion.

I went this past weekend, the NE regional is easy and gets you there in 2 hours. I think there's always a late NE regional (like 11:30) out of 30th street to DC on Sunday nights.

As far as being an opposing fan, you should be fine as long as you're not a dickhead. You'll get booed at and jeered but you're not going to be in physical danger.
