How do you deal with a manager you don't agree with?

Let me start by saying, I love my Program Manager (PM) as a person. She has a wonderful sense of humor and is exceptionally fair.

I just don’t seem to agree with her politics at work. She is a micro-manager, and has completely flipped everything I loved at my site from last year. She treats us as if we have already done something wrong, and we rarely ever get individual praise for doing something right. She is also not flexible at all, it seems to be her way or the highway.

As I said earlier, she does have her moments. She will go to bat for us, should the need arise.

I love my job, but I am so fed up with this issue, I am starting to think I’d be better off elsewhere. I wonder if there are techniques I could use to help myself from snapping this year.

Thank you in advance for your advice.
