Fight the Trump Takeover: Sausalito, Marin County, California

Marin County locals turned out on Bridgeway in Sausalito on Saturday to give the Orange Man a piece of their minds. Many signs were quite militant.

Indivisible Marin called for the demonstration as part the local manifestation of what they call national "Fight the Trump Takeover" protests: 

"The state of Texas is attempting to redistrict to steal five Democrat-held congressional districts to rig the 2026 midterms. It’s all being done at the behest of Trump. He knows he can't win any other way. And Trump isn’t stopping in Texas. He’s targeting Missouri, Ohio, Florida, and every state he can twist to help him steal Congress next year. This is about the future of our democracy and the time to fight this power grab is NOW."

These Marinites get it. Their signs speak less to particular Trumpian issues, injustices and crimes, but more to a general feeling of disgust.

 

Trump can, and does, try to "flood the zone with shit" and distract us through the sheer volume of his outrages against our country and historic democracy. But instead of overwhelming us, these little protests -- again and again -- seem to bring out new people activated by new depravity. These folks aren't giving up.
