We will have a dictator no matter what. I feel no shame at all in wishing for the lesser of two evils. We will not good-example our way out of this mess. I do not personally want to suffer greatly due to the stupidity, hate, and ignorance of others, even a majority of others.

And while, as an individual, it might be fine to be as honorable as you can in defeat, there are too many people who will suffer irreparable harm under Trump, including lives of harassment and hiding, torture, imprisonment, and even death (from loss of health care to cops turned into unaccountable thugs) for there to be any nobility in letting all that harm play out while feeling smugly honorable about taking some supposed "high road".
