Opinion | Yesterday was a disgrace, but we're a day closer to a new and better chapter of American history. By hblodget.

Today, I am relieved that order has been restored and the certification of our next president completed. And I hope and expect that the anti-American thugs who overran the Capitol will be prosecuted."real frustrations" with the election outcome. This is no excuse. Almost half of Americans are frustrated after every election. In 2016, tens of millions of Americans who voted for Hillary Clinton were beyond frustrated that she lost.

Many Americans who are frustrated that Trump lost, moreover, are frustrated because they have been lied to again and again by the people they trust — most notably Trump, some members of Congress, and some members the media. They've been lied to about the election result, our democratic process, and the motives of the people who disagree with them. As Republican Sen. Mitt Romney bravely said last night, the way to respect the people you lead is not to tell them lies they want to hear.

We have lived through a lot of distressing history together in the past few years. It has not been easy, and it is not likely to become easy. But despite yesterday's ugliness, we are another day closer to the next chapter. And despite the many challenges we face as a country, I remain optimistic that it will be a better and less-divisive one.

One of the many lessons of the Trump era is that truth matters. Facts matter. Science matters. Respect and decency matter. Justice matters. Progress and innovation matter. And firm resolve and persistence in the face of adversity matter. Hundreds of millions of Americans — many of whom disagree about various government policy approaches — deeply support these values. And we will continue to do so, no matter what new challenges we face in the coming days.LoadingBy clicking ‘Sign up’, you agree to receive marketing emails from Business Insider as well as other partner offers and accept our

hblodget No we are not. Republicans will soon make it illegal for Democrats to win. Red state legislatures in bluish states will refuse to certify any votes where Democrats win

hblodget well, what about the BLM anarchists who destroyed usa for at least a year. THIS action yesterday WAS JUST A RESPONSE OF THAT BLM ANARCHY. Fools blame trump.

hblodget Republicans should draft articles of impeachment for Biden due to his Chinese and Ukraine collusion and financial fraud.
