This just seemed like a standard fluff article to accompany serious coverage of the US Election results. I mean, its only hits on a webpage, not people requesting applications or rushing to the border or what not. Seems like something to be expected that a few people will be upset enough with any election outcome to browse around info on this sort of stuff as a kind of theraputic way to calm down. Elections can bring out the extremities of emotions in people and the internet is an easy way to feel like your acting out on things without actually doing anything, which can help to calm you down when riled up.
So yeah, until we hear stories of massive groups of americans in long lines at the border, i just saw it as a passingly interesting fluff article.
For the whole issue of actually going through with moving because of the outcome of the election, I see it as silly and a slap in the face to the rest of the US, including those who also voted for your candidate. Like aktornado said, they aren't being persecuted, so instead leaving would just seem to show disrespect for the process of electing candidates. To me at least.
