Joe Biden has promised to be "the president of every American" - but thousands of Trump supporters have resorted to violence to stop him. In the divided United States, perceptions differ not only about what is the right path for the country, but also about what is true. Can the United States become whole again?
Dagens Nyheter's Sanna Torén Björling asked the question to a number of Americans.
The storming of the Capitol was extraordinary, but Washington has become an increasingly common scene of confrontation. The city is a symbol of power, and some small protest is always going on outside the White House. But violence has been quite rare in the past.
The last few months have been different. This summer's Black Lives Matter protests did not want to end. After the presidential election, thousands of Trump supporters have demonstrated on several occasions, in support of the president. They culminated in Wednesday's violence, when hundreds of people entered the convention building. Trump supporters have no confidence in the incoming president. Joe Biden hopes to change that.*
