Whatever causes we each decide to work for, I encourage all of us to educate ourselves and others about Non-Violent Civil Disobediance (NVCD) and learn what CAN be done in response to whatever happens over the next 4 years. We need good tools to work with. NVCD will be vital. NVCD offers us so many more powerful resources than we realize. We need to learn about them in detail to the point that we embody them. We should become living resources for friends, family and community about hope that NVCD offers us. If ever you doubt, spend some time reviewing the history of Gandhi & King.
Let's learn from the masters and not spend too much time wondering how bad it might get. Let's get prepared to respond with Truth on our side. Let's create the alternative for people of Faith, agnostics, atheists and the untitled to follow.
I myself plan to start by taking a weekend workshop as soon as possible with FOR - (Fellowship of Reconcilliation)
http://www.forusa.org, and learn what my non-violent options are, meet others committed to the same ideals and make my game plan for the next 4 years. Here's 2 other good sources:

Let's Study Gandhi, study King, let's read Thoreau, read about Peace Pilgrim (http://www.peacepilgrim.net/book/index.htm), read about Bayard Rustin (Lost Prophet: The Life and Times of Bayard Rustin) and be able to do more than sight uplifting quotes. Ain't Gonna Study War No More, by Milton Meltzer, is a good history primer about the Peace/Non-Violence movement in history. It's written for young adults
If you practice spirituality, religion or meditation, lean into it now. If you don't, consider sitting quietly for some time each day - it will make a difference.
Don't give in to fear, spend time inspiring yourself - go see "What the Bleep do We Know" - for a mind-bending time. http://www.whatthebleep.com/
And I'll leave you with this story about Gandhi and then a quote: His first attempt at being a lawyer, failed when he realized he was too frightened to speak in public (which is necessary in a courtroom.) He had to excuse himself and turn the case over to another lawyer and left feeling humiliated. This is a man we can emulate!
"I claim to be no more than an average person with less than average ability. I have not the shadow of doubt that any man or woman can achieve what I have, if he or she would make the same effort and cultivate the same hope and faith." - gandhi
