Some of the asshole-ry is quite likely exaggerated - at least one round of "post Obama layoffs" has been shown to be, in reality, an action planned long ago that still would've happened no matter how the election went. People who call into radio shows talking about how they're business owners cutting their Obama supporters are probably making the entire thing up. D-List celebrities like Melissa Joan Hart and Stacy Dash are likely exaggerating or fabricating these "threats" to try and get themselves back into the public eye. People who are upset about the outcome of an election say a lot of things, not all of them true. And celebrities have a fairly long history of pursuing "any publicity is good publicity", especially if their careers are flagging. Some of the asshole-ry is actually real, but a lot of it isn't.
It'll all come out in the wash and life will go back to normal in a month.
