Americké voľby 2020 boli prelomové. Potvrdili rozčesnutie Ameriky na dva nekompatibilné svetonázorové tábory: prichádzajúci svet ekologickej konverzie, globálneho multikulturalizmu a nového digitálneho humanizmu proti starému svetu osobnej slobody, rodinného života, lokálnej komunity a kresťanských tradícii.

Čo prinesie zrážka dvoch svetov a víťazstvo prvého z nich?
