For Trump voters, shock, disappointment and disbelief.

Jodi Lavoie-Carnes, 48, a dental hygienist who lives in Dover, N.H., supported President Trump for re-election. On Saturday, she was shocked and disturbed by the boisterous celebrations of Biden supporters, who had gathered in her city waving profane anti-Trump indicators.

The tone was so destructive that she puzzled what lies forward for the nation.

“I’m like, are you critical?” stated Ms. Lavoie-Carnes, who ran unsuccessfully as a Republican for the New Hampshire State Home this yr. “The language doesn’t have to be there. My kids must drive by that.”

She stated it was President-elect Joseph R. Biden Jr.’s accountability to maintain the tone of celebrations civil.

“Now you’re an elect, so calm them down,” she stated.

Across the nation, Trump supporters greeted information that Joseph R. Biden Jr. had received the election with a mixture of disappointment and disbelief.

Larry Thompson, who had voted for President Trump in Prosper, Texas, initially believed that Mr. Trump would win re-election in a landslide. Even after media shops had known as the race for Mr. Biden, Mr. Thompson, 75, nonetheless thought the president would finally prevail.

“I don’t consider what The A.P. has known as right here for Biden, particularly due to all of the discrepancies which can be on the market,” Mr. Thompson stated. “I’m not agreeing with that evaluation.”

Mr. Thompson pointed to “pc glitches and all these new ballots” as potential sources of fraudulent votes. “I would like my man to win,” he stated. “But when he loses truthful and squarely, I’m in. However that doesn’t appear to be the case on the opposite facet.”

In Washington, just a few dozen Trump supporters gathered exterior the Capitol shortly after 1 p.m. in a peaceable protest towards the election outcomes. One individual waved an indication studying “4 extra years,” whereas one other waved an indication stating “Cease the Steal.”
