I have a number of online friends who are absolutely gutted over it, the prevailing opinion is that a very similar ramping of xenophobia and racial fears were deliberately fanned in the very stupid and elderly (sound familiar?) and that many of the people who voted for Brexit are instantly regretful today because they actually didn't expect it to happen. My Scottish friends are mad as hell because the country voted unilaterally to stay in but will be forcibly dragged out by Britain or you may see another vote on Scottish independence. My British expat who lives in Greece was immediately financially ruined this morning because his livelihood depends on stability of pounds to Euro conversion. He's fucked and basically stranded in a country already in huge financial trouble.
Thank god I am oblivious to the opinions of others while caught in the blinding splendor of my own cleverness.
