There are lots of ways. Here are a couple to start the conversation.
1) Support organizations that will try to limit the damage the POTUS might do to the things you value. The ACLU and NARAL come immediately to mind, but these are personal choices.
2) Make a positive case wherever you can for the political values and causes you believe in.
3) Take care of the poor donkey. The Democratic Party needs to rebuild, have a (hopefully healthy) debate about its platform, and prepare for the midterms and state elections. The census and then redistricting will be here before you know it. Democrats need to be in the room where it happens.
The ACLU is out for me--but, as you say, there's room for personal choice there.
I was thinking earlier today that I ought to consider sending the Dems some money--the DCCC or whatever. Though they're trying my patience too of late...

Yes, that's level-headed, A.
