I'll stipulate that the results of the election as they now stand are assaultive to my world view and self-understanding.  Just the very idea of Trump having his grubby little fingers on power I find horrifying.  

However, I'm not going to buy into any guilt trips - sad little attempts at cognitive dissonance - about how I, we should begin embracing with loving hearts the fascism and misogyny that Trump's election represents.

My issue is that like Ronald Reagan who made us more comfortable with our prejudices, Trump's victory gives full throated endorsement to the darkest corners of white culture and ideology:  meetings of white supremacists groups celebrating Trump's victory with cries of  "seig heil"; Trump has chosen a white supremacist as attorney general - the very person who supposedly defends our constitutional rights! 

I thought the point was to reject the Nero's and the Caligula's in the commons, not enable them to speak for the whole culture.
