Read MoreDick Spotswood Via Marin IJ: Marin Voters Would Make Great Protesters Against Trump
It’s time for regular Marin residents who consider themselves patriots to stand up and determine their own destiny. In much of politically “blue” America, protests have spontaneously erupted. No, they aren’t due to paid organizers. They’re just angry Americans. Other than at Corte Madera’s Tesla showroom, it appears to me that local protests have been scarce. Marin should be a shining example to fellow California patriots on how to address their pent-up emotions and exercise their First Amendment rights.

Read MoreDick Spotswood: Would California, Marin be better off without FEMA?
Each party will need to sacrifice elements of control that they relish. Trump and his minions will not be able to dictate how individual states and private enterprise promote diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives or tell California how to disburse its scarce water. Likewise, progressive Democrats will need to forgo forcing politically correct initiatives on “red” states or land management on rural bastions.
