Very close to half the population of the US will not be celebrating. I
expect close to 100% are hoping for the best however.

It's pretty sad how the perception of the election is drastically
different when the reality is that it was only a few percent further
apart than the election folks still haven't stopped bitching about.
Those few percent can largely be attributed to those voting based on the
novelty factor of making a historic election, and not on political
positions.

The US is no less divided than it was in 2000, and unless something
dramatic happens (a president with a permanent tan isn't dramatic), I
don't see any sort of national cohesion forming to bring the masses in
from the polarized extremes.
It's a scary thought to imagine how W.W.II would have turned out if the
US population was as polarized as it is today. Today we face challenges
at least as great as those in W.W.II and the future does not look good
no matter who we have in the White House.
