A transition from the first African American president to someone who made racism a cornerstone of his campaign is one element. Another is that Trump triumphed against what appeared to be a solid \"popular front\" of most of American business, the media, the political establishment, and liberal activists lined up behind Democrat Hillary Clinton. Despite all of these factors--or perhaps, more accurately, because of them--the dysfunctional U.S. political system delivered the world's most powerful office to the loser of the national popular vote for the second time in sixteen years.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eUS Politics in the Age of Uncertainty is a smart and compelling reader, written by socialists, that delves into different aspects of US politics in this era of transition from Obama to Trump. These essays are offered with the knowledge that the social forces that drove the 2016 election remain with us today, and thus helps set a course for the left to project its true power in a way that can offer a real alternative for the working-class majority.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eContents\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eLance Selfa\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChickens Coming Home to Roost for the Democratic Party?
