JACKSONVILLE – The latest salvo against President Donald J. Trump’s agenda comes from the most conservative county in Florida.

Shortly after the President’s inauguration, a small contingency of citizens banded together to form Indivisible Clay, Clay County’s chapter of a growing nationwide network of activists who have vowed to attend congressional town hall meetings to make their voices heard – sometimes loudly.

What has unfolded is a series of wildly contentious town hall meetings held by representatives and senators across the country.

The Tea Party used the same guerilla-citizen politics in the summer of 2009 to oppose former President Barack Obama’s health care reforms and stimulus packages.

Now, Indivisible affiliates all over the country are taking a page from the Tea Party’s playbook.

The difference is Indivisible is not solely a right-wing movement. The sign-toting protestors that have become a mainstay at town hall meetings and congressional offices come from every political background, religious affiliation and race.

The common denominator between them is their collective anxiety of what a Trump presidency could mean.

And the Clay County chapter is a growing contingency. Before the first month of Trump’s presidency had ended, the group had already accrued more than 125 members. The Clay County affiliate of Indivisible is the smallest of the roughly 14 chapters in Northeast Florida.

“We kind of have to do something,” said lead organizer Jeff Allstadt, who is a registered Republican and resident of Fleming Island. “Some of the actions are so extreme, they’re undemocratic, they’re un-American – they’re downright scary. It’s shocking. There’s never been anything like this.”

Allstadt, 58, said Trump’s harsh criticisms of the press – even going so far as to say that journalists are the “enemy of the American people” – and his disdain for the judiciary when it rules against him are hallmark signs of a rising authoritarian dictator.

He’s concerned about a lot. Trump’s ties to Russia, the conflicts of interest that have arisen from his failure to fully divest his businesses worries Allstadt that Trump is profiting directly off the presidency.

He stood in front of Republican Senator Marco Rubio’s Jacksonville office on Tuesday morning along with approximately 50 other protestors who are worried about the same. Drivers honk and wave at the protestors to show their support and a police officer sits in his patrol car to referee the protest a block down from the senator’s office on Prudential Drive.

“I’m old enough to remember the Watergate scandal,” Allstadt said. “It was a huge, huge crisis, because the president [Richard Nixon] was usurping the civic institutions of the country to stay in power. This guy’s doing worse.”

Every Tuesday protestors with the Clay chapter join protestors from other Indivisible affiliates in protest in front of Rubio’s office. They want him to hold a town hall meeting, but, so far, there’s been every indication he’s not going to.

Rubio told CBS4-Miami’s Jim DeFede in February that if he held a town hall meeting that protestors from several counties would marshal thousands of attendees to heckle him. He also called the Indivisible members paid, liberal protestors. Neither of those are true, and Allstadt has taken to writing “not paid” on his comment cards to the senator.

Rubio’s comments have faced repudiation from both political parties.

Last Tuesday, Indivisible Clay toted signs near Luca’s Italian Restaurant on Blanding Boulevard, where Rep. Ted Yoho(R-3) of Gainesville was scheduled to hold an event. He never showed. Calls to Yoho’s office to inquire why he cancelled were not immediately returned Wednesday.

Yoho has a town hall scheduled at Countryside Baptist Church in Gainesville at 10 a.m. on March 4. Online comments on the event page repudiate the choice, as the church can’t hold the number of constituents who want to attend. Likewise, commenters took offense to the choice of location further, citing that the event is on privately held land, meaning protestors will likely not be welcome anywhere on the premises.

The group perched in front of Rubio’s office chants slogans while a woman bangs on a bucket to keep the beat.

“Our power comes from the strength of unity and feeling that if we stand Indivisible and we continue that we actually can affect change,” said organizer Sandy Goldman, a registered Democrat who lives in Fleming Island. “We’ve already begun to see the impact of the Indivisible movement.”

Every Tuesday, the protestors form a line at Rubio’s office. They each hand a letter to staffers with their concerns. It’s different every time. Some cite environmental concerns, anxiety over climate change. They want the Affordable Care Act, sometimes referred to as ‘Obamacare,’ tweaked, not repealed.

Others cite growing concerns over hate crimes. They worry that the number of anti-Muslim hate groups have risen from 34 in 2015 to 101 last year. They also cite concerns over bomb threats at Jewish synagogues across the country.

“One of my greatest concerns is my grandchildren growing up in Trump’s world,” said Goldman, who is 70. “I find it to be unethical, immoral – I could go down the list, but these kids have grown up understanding equality, tolerance, and my fear is that that’s not welcome in Trump’s world.”
