You would like it if we just capitulate to the oligarchy and their evil ways, I know. Thanks goodness the wicked male witch is gone. But the witch of the west (McConnell) is still there. Polarization will continue because of him.
The AP reports at least a few Republican protests, though they are drowned out in the blue media at least by reports of big city celebrations and joy. So far, no violence. No big storm of red violence refusing to accept the result. The predictions of a civil war starting is thus far unfounded. It is more in line with my observation that the red are firm on their issues, but accept the results of democracy.
Maddow was surprised at how little a deal it was that a president would contest an election and not go along with a peaceful transition of power. The mood seems to be 'you expected him to do otherwise?' rather than 'over my dead body!' We should watch to see if the various red violent actors go crazy in the near future, but so far they haven't.
McConnell went obstructionist with a black president and stayed obstructionist though Trump. Not absolutely clear it will continue, but I am assuming he will try. Thing is if a few senators relieved at Trump's absence go with putting country ahead of party and buy into the idea of breaking unity, it won't work. We'll see how badly the Republicans want to distance themselves from Trump.
