Willie Brown has some good advice you many of you in his column in today's Chronicle.

The subtext in your post and in others on this board is that Democrats don't have a good reason for being opposed to him. Not to put words in your mouth but you have suggested on these boards that those who are against him are opposed because of the FOX speaking points: sore losers, irrational, emotional, etc.
My dislike for the man and his Presidency falls into three buckets. You may disagree, but I think you can understand why a person would have these opinions:
1) The WAY he won the election. Cultivating division, appealing to anger and prejudice, fueling outrage, and lying (not to say anything of potential manipulation of the outcome). This is nothing about being a "sore loser", this wanting a more elevated electorate and process for selecting the most powerful person in the world. I want great people running the world, not those who appeal to the worst parts of our psychology. It galls me that his tactics won, and now are being repeated. This is not a step forward in civilization.
2) The person that he is. As stated above, I want the President to be a person that embodies wisdom, intelligence, education, leadership, character, and values of our countries principles. I want to feel pride toward our President and the country we represent ourselves to be around the world. Trump makes me feel ashamed. And his tweets, policies, and public speaking cut against every attribute I listed above. Again, not sore loser or tribal loyalty, or anti-Republican; it is that THIS man and who he surrounds himself with and what he does violates everything dear to me.
3) The direction he moves the country. He is tearing down civility and liberties that will be tough to re-contruct. He moves us down the path of oligarchy, kleptocracy, and authoritarianism. He makes our country less friendly and hospitable. He makes enemies of our allies and makes the world a more dangerous place. And he sets precedence. I do not want to live in a country like Russia where organized crime runs everything in the background and the citizens live under a blanket of oppression, expected party loyalty, and the threat of strongmen violence. America should be the light to that darkness, and Trump has been operating in shadow his whole life.
I believe if that the two of us (you and me) shared a coffee ten years ago and you read this email, you would completely agree with what i wrote. That your description of what you wanted in a President and what you wanted America to be would align with what I am describing. It is only because "your guy" is now in power and the conservative reframes who he is and what words mean that my description would now be something to take issue with. I guarantee that if you were able to step outside yourself and the context of Liberal/Conservative, winning/losing, etc you too would be completely opposed to what is happening. I am not so politically activated because I am a sore loser or to line up with some Liberal agenda, I am genuinely afraid at the most personal level that we are rewarding evil and that our country is being destroyed...and that the next great war is more a possibility than ever. Those conclusions are completely justified by observing what is actually happening.
