Here's what Americans just did. Should I direct this towards all those who stayed home and did not bother to vote? NO. This is for the people who voted to commit mass suicide by voting for Republicans.
"Johnny! Tell them what they've won!"
"An earlier death! We scheduled your life saving surgery to be postponed, your medications to be withheld!"
Sick?
Die, Americans.
Die quickly. Those "Death Panels"?
They're coming baaaaack, thanks to Republicans.
If you are an American that is not filthy rich and you happen to fall ill, Republicans send you their best regards. But please do make sure and die quickly. After all, lingering death costs them money.
You voted for it.
Now, just die quietly. Don't be making a fuss.
And congratulations are in order to Republicans for killing the American made vehicles.
No Wait. Let me REFINE that a bit.
Congratulations are in order to Republicans for killing American held companies that make vehicles. Specifically, American companies that manufacture vehicles that have unions. Watch for stocks in non-American non-union car companies to skyrocket on the news that Republicans have not only taken Congress, they have taken Michigan over. Any hope of redeeming Detroit is destroyed, as Michigan politicians will no longer provide the firewall needed to totally gut and destroy the American car companies because they've got those 'socialist unions' in them.
Good job, those voted Republican, especially in Michigan. You voted to slit you own economic throats. Nice job. Enjoy the total Hell you've just plunged yourself into.

The environment.
The last window is closing fast on any chance to prevent serious permanent damage to this planet: electing Republicans to a near stranglehold on the Senate means absolutely no signing of Nagoya Biodiversity accords. Killing off tens of thousands of species, driving them to extinction? All in a days work for Republicans. They want to 'simplify' the environment. Cut down on nuisance diversity is one way to do it. Look for the GOP to help accomplish that task as they cut funding for science, research, actions to promote sustainability and reclamation.
It means no action to stop the rank air pollution which kills an estimated 100,000 Americans every year. It means more nuclear and coal plants.
Needless to say, for those scientists who work in climate research, Republicans will be happy to pay for your retraining as Wal-Mart greeters and baggers at the local supermarket. Global warming? Americans just said 'phooey'!
Drill, baby drill!
More lax regulations for energy companies means lots more Americans will be dying in the 'unforeseen collateral effects of business'. Mine cave ins. Train derailments with hazardous chemicals. Industrial accidents of all types will become par for the course in Mad Macx Republican World.
Got children? Pray for them. Pray for the quality of their food, their water, the very air you and your children breathe will become just another 'equation' in the Republican calculus to make their rich pals even richer. Pray, because government agencies which regulate these industries will stripped of their funding. Pray that the companies are run ethically and competently.
Take prescription drugs? 'Mistakes' at pharmaceutical companies where drugs are released that kill and cripple tens of thousands of American citizens - hey, that's just 'market conditions'. Forget about suing though, because Republicans will be putting up legislative roadblocks to ensure corporations are protected.

Lopping off that last 2% of Federal funding to PBS and NPR? Almost a laughable afterthought. GOP can kill that in an afternoon. Media consolidation will continue, and suppression of actual news reporting will become even more entrenched.

PS:
Veterans that voted Republican? You have voted to have Tricare privatized, the VA disassembled. GI Bill? 'Socialism'.
SSI? Republicans will try to find a way to write off the $3 trillion borrowed from the program, and give that to the rich.
Medicare? More 'socialism'. Congratulations, seniors. You've voted to decimate this program even further.
Got a pension? More judges to stand up for corporations that will yank your job and your pension away. Congratulations, workers.

I'm sure that America's foreign policies as expressed in Congress will reflect resolutions intended to enflame and enrage various players: North Korea, Cuba, China, of course the Arabic and Muslim world. Build up a good head of steam to start the next war, after the election Jeb Bush in 2012.
So congratulations.
All the fun starts in January.

A postscript to Jon Stewart:
Hey Jon .. "We live in hard times, not End Times" .. for you, right now, this is true. You've got money. You can afford to have that attitude, and frankly, most of the people who could AFFORD to attend your rally will probably be OK.
For a while.
But even people who can afford to take a trip to DC to rally for sanity can be turned into radioactive glass.
