A lot of folks were just as happy when Obama won.
It's always this way. I can't think of an election when it was different. At age 72, I've seen a lot of emotions after every Presidential election, especially when it's a first term.
By the second term, the election is always far less emotional.
Someone always wins, someone always loses. I respect all those who are like the OP, even if I don't share his joy. Their feelings are just as legitimate as mine, and it's all part and parcel of a functioning democracy.
What I worry most about is indifference. If the fire ever goes out in an election year, that's when we are all in deep trouble.
