His approach fails to protect the victims, many of whom are also people of color and their communities. Far away from the reality of the dystopia they’ve helped create, and insulated from their bad decisions, the leftist elite see you as just a notional being, something to be manipulated and controlled with their perverse carrot-and-stick approach.
