But from other corners of the nation, the pulsating and pressurized steam of grievance still hissed with anger and distrust.
“We must end this uncivil war that pits red against blue, rural versus urban, conservative versus liberal,” he said in his inaugural address from the same U.S. Capitol portico where a pro-Trump mob tried to stop his elevation to the presidency only two weeks earlier.
