| Summary/Abstract |
THE 57TH PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN in the United States has become history. Summing up will take time yet preliminary conclusions about the state of American society and future American domestic and foreign policies are possible.
The campaign better described as a clash of political views and ideologies was unprecedentedly harsh; the contenders were unprecedentedly incompatible not because of their personalities but because of the diametrically different views and opinions of the social and political forces behind them. This looked like the final battle between the Republicans who had moved further to the right and who represented lily-white rich Americans and the Democrats supported by a patchwork of minorities of all hues (African Americans, Latinos, LGBT Americans, supporters of abortions and legalization of marijuana, etc.).
