You know, Ake, as has been intimated above, the voter numbers in America rarely speak truly in specific cases. I don't know how it is in Scotland- 99.9%White? - but one of the strengths of the US culture, imo, is our diversity. If one takes the specifics apart it is bewildering, no doubt, especially to people at a distance. But except for the occasional disaster we seem to muddle through.

My feeling is that most people in the US currently are living in a state of relief. And hope.
