When that first law is officially proposed that takes away women's rights or medicare or voting rights, I will watch to see what the Democratic politicians do.
In the meantime, I think all we can do is make bigotry and sexism something that is not tolerated in our own spaces. When we see someone from "our group" harassing or abusing someone from "another" group, we need to call it out. For example, I am a white woman. There was that story of a bunch of white men harassing a woman in a hijab on the subway. From this day, I will consider it my moral duty to call out people like that if I see them. I think it's the only way that people of good will from all persuasions can make ourselves safe, and we need to do it together.
Hillary's motto seemed facile at the time, but love truly does trump hate.
