Internet searches are fickle things. Results very much depend on the search engine employed, exact key words or phrases used, timespan chosen and whether AI has decided to mess with the search results.
So looking at Internet searches using Google Chrome without AI from 12pm on Sunday, 3 November 2024 in Sydney Australia (8pm Saturday, 2 November in Washington DC) to 12pm on Sunday, 10 November 2024 (8pm Saturday, 9 November in DC), the Google Trends graph below indicates a point when at least a few people in the US began to feel uncomfortable with the new political landscape developing before their eyes.
That point was at 5pm on Tuesday, 5 November on the US west coast and 7pm on the east coast.
So despite some U.S. talk show hosts and a few YouTube accounts talking about the level of fear and/or 'buyer remorse' developing among the population at the looming prospect of a second Trump Administration, it seems that like Scarlett O'Hara on the big screen and the peoples of Europe in the late 1930s the majority of Americans will 'think about it tomorrow'.
